INTRODUCTORY.

To write the history of one's family is not an easy
task. The early records to which one must refer for their
early history are distributed over different parts of the
country. The records, too, are often very incomplete and
unsatisfactory; the War of the Revolution did much to
destroy them. Towns were sometimes burned and the
records with them, and in other ways valuable papers were
often lost. It may not generally be known, that when the
British evacuated Newport, they carried off many of the
records in a sloop which was wrecked in Hellgate, and
sunk with its precious cargo. The sloop was subsequently
raised by the American authorities, and the records re-
turned to Newport, but they were allowed to soak in the
salt water from which they were taken, and only a few
years ago were they placed in the care of the Newport
Historical Society for examination and assortment. Be-
sides this, parish records are often very unsatisfactory;
sometimes kept in a very slipshod incomplete way, some-
times not at all. The writer of this recently read of a
certain pastor of a Presbyterian Church who testified in
court, that he had been pastor of that congregation forty
years, and during that time had kept no parish records;
but that recently, being so often asked for marriage certifi-
cates to get pensions with, he had begun recently to record
them. Besides this, officials in charge of public records,
with some bright and shining exceptions, are not generally
as polite and helpful as they might be. Worst of all,
however, is it that letters of enquiry are so often un-
answered. Some people, unfortunately, have not the
courtesy to answer such correspondence, and use the
stamp enclosed for reply for other purposes. In addition
to all these difficulties, the descendants of Richard' are

2 Introductorv.

largely identified with the parish of St. George's Church,
Hempstead, L. I. But the lirst Rector of that parish, Rev.
John Thomas, in charge from 1704 to 1724 (twenty years),
kept no records of baptisms, marriages and funerals, giving
as a reason that the vestry had furnished him with no
Parish Register. Such an outrageous excuse needs no
comments. It will be seen, however, how much all this
will add to the difficulty of making a complete history of
the family.

Till about 1800 the record of deeds was not obligatory.
These were often kept in a trunk in the attic in old times,
and sometimes the house would burn and the records with
them. Hence another difficulty.

The Cornell genealogy is particularly difficult to write.
The family is large, and although it has been claimed by
some that they are all descended from our ancestor
Thomas,' I am quite certain there are four distinct families
besides our own, and a great variety of spelling exists
among the different families, and even among members of
the same family, not perhaps so much when they wrote
their names, but^when mentioned by others. It is much
to be regretted that the family of Conelise should have
changed their name to Cornel and Cornell, thereby making
much confusion, and this has added much to the difficulty
of giving the genealogy of our family especially in Dutchess
County and Long Island. It is much to be regretted that
the descendants of Thomas ' had not kept to the spelling of
Cornell, as their early ancestors seem to have done, prob-
ably to distinguish themselves from the Cornwalls or
Cornwells of Connecticut. That would have unified the
family. It would certainly much have aided the writer,
and wherever the descendants of our Richard' (son of
Thomas') get the name of Cornwall and Comwell from,
they do not get it from him, for in that most solemn docu-
ment pertaining to him, niz.^ his last will and testament, he
signs his name Richard Cornell, a facsimile of his signature
and others being given in this book.

I know it may be said we should restore the ancient
spelling of the name. But to do so we must sign ourselves

Cornevvayle or Cornewalle, which seem to have been about
the earliest writing of it.

The connecting link between the Cornells of England
and America unfortunately has not been found, though
much effort has been made by many. Our ancestor,
Thomas,' we infer from reasons subsequently given, was
of Co. Essex, England. He was in Boston in 163S, prob-
ably much earlier. Then we hear of him in Rhode Island,
where he had a grant of land from the town of Ports-
mouth, Feb. 4, 1646. Later he had a grant of about 700
acres from Governor Kieft in the present limits of Greater
Xew York. But being driven from this by the Indians,
he returned to his estate in Portsmouth where he lived and
died, and was buried on his own land,^ and it is from this
place, and in the house built on the ruins of the old home-
stead, that the writer pens this history. I desire to
express my obligations to Dr. E. E. Cornwall of Brooklyn,
who has recently written a history of the descendants of
William Cornwall of Middletown, Conn. He has helped
me much to distinguish between members of the different
families though bearing the same name, enabling me to tell
which were the descendants of our Thomas', and which
were of William Cornwall of Middletown, and this was
often very difficult — sometimes, I may add, impossible;
also for other information. My thanks are also due
Governor Cornell, who put the valuable papers of his
father, Hon. Ezra Cornell, at my disposition, and these
papers were the result of much patient labor, as well as
time and expense, in collecting facts pertaining to the
Cornell family. I would also acknowledge the kind
assistance and encouragement I have received from many
others in my work. But chielly would I acknowledge the
kind help of Mr. C. B. Curtis of New York, who, even
more than the writer, is the author of this book. His
intelligence and patient labor, and natural talent for gene-
alogy has removed difficulties and solved questions which
to others seemed impossible. He has also corrected the

errors of many who have written and published works on
the subject. Though not a Cornell, or even married to a
Cornell, he has done more to throw light on the History of
the Cornell Family, than any one living. It may be said
of the Cornell family tliat as a rule they are honest and
Industrious, and as a family free from intemperance,
generally good citizens. Some from little or nothing
iinancially have become millionaires. Few perhaps have
attained any great distinction in life, and yet seven are
mentioned in Appleton's Cyclopaedia -of Biography —
soldier, statesman, philp^nthropist, medical authority,
musical composer, and inventors. The religious status of
the family has been a matter of interest to the writer.
The emigrant Thomas was probably Puritan at first,
then a follower of Roger Williams and Ann Hutchinson,
drifting perhaps into Quakerism, which seems to have
been the general religion of his descendants, except
Richard,' who himself as well as his descendants seemed
to have conformed at an early period to the Church of
England; many of whom are now connected with the
Episcopal Church. The Quakerism of the family has
generally been abandoned for Congregationalism, Metho-
dism, Fresbyterianism, etc., a number also have left Quak-
erism to join the Baptist and Episcopal Church. Some
however are still devout adherents of the Society of
Friends. But three Roman Catholics of Cornell name and
blood have come under my knowledge, one of these entered
the x)riesthood of that church, but after a short experience
he left it in disgust. The writer asks the indulgence of his
readers for any errors, or omissions they may find in this
work, assuring them that his task, though a pleasant one,
has been very laborious. He will be very grateful to any
who will notify him of inaccuracies they might discover, or
information they may give. He may be addressed at his
present home from which this book now goes forth.

NAME, COAT-OF-ARMS, AND
ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY.

The name Cornell in the different branches of the
family, and even in the same branch, has been written in
many different ways; among the direct descendants of the
iirst of our line in America I have found the following
variations: Cornwall, Cornwell, Cornewell, Cornhill, Cor-
nill, Cornel and Cornell, Cornnel, Coornell. In the early
records of Boston, Thomas' is called Cornhill, Cornehill,
Cornewell, and Cornnell. After he removed to Rhode
Island he is Cornell. In the Dutch (N. Y. ) Records he is
called Coornell. Unfortunately his autograph has not
come down to us (though it was certified in court that he
made a will). His son Richard calls himself Cornell in his
will, and signs himself Richard Cornell, also some of
Thomas" early descendants. The descendants of his son
John generally adhere to the style Cornwell. Thomas of
Rockaway was Cornwell and many of his descendants so
remain, but his children, when the firm of Cornell, Alt-
house & Co. (later J. B. & M. Cornell) was established in
1829, changed their spelling to Cornell.

In England different families having the same common
origin, are known as Cornwall, Cornwell and Cornewell.*
In England they drop the w in the middle of a word often,
as in Greenwich, Warwick, etc.

As before stated there are, besides our own, four
different families bearing one or more of the above names:

I. Thomas Cornell or Cornwell of Gravesend, L. I. He
married Elizabeth Fiscock, and has often been confused
with our Thomas,^ Thomas;' he was from Hertfordshire in
England, as the record of his marriage in the Reformed

tionary of the Family Names in the United Kins^dom, London, i860).

llU-2. Thomas Cornells, j. m., uyt de Provincie van Hertfort,
en Elisabeth Fiscock, j. d., van Pleymouth in Engelt."
(,iV^. Y. Gen. Rec, YI., 35.)

Among the Baptisms in the same church appear Eliza-
beth, daughter of Thomas Coremvell, Jan. 12, 1644; Sara,
daughter of Thomas Corruwel, Feb. 21, 1646; Johannes,
aged 3 years, and Maria, 10 weeks, children of Thomas
Carmuwel, Aug. 14, 1650. {lb., V., 34, 87, 94.)

Thomas Cornwell, probably the same, appears among
the lirst inhabitants and patentees of Gravesend, L. I., and
often in the early records of that town. He had a dispute
with Lady Moody about a piece of land in that settlement,
which was decided in favor of Thomas. He died not later
than Sept. 9, 1650, on which day his widow, Elizabeth,
married John Morrice. It appears by the Gravesend
records that Jan. 9, 1651, the estate of Thomas Cornwell was
settled by the court, that he left a widow whom "ye said
John Morrice had married," and four small children, viz.:
Elizabeth, ?e. about? years; Sarah, about 4 years; Johanna,
about 3 years, and Marah, about half a year. The estate,
"which might be about six hundred guilders," was in-
trusted to John Morrice, "he consenting to maintain the
children, and to pay to them upon the day of her marriage,
or when they shall come to be sixteen years of age, one
hundred guilders, to be laid out upon cattle, and by him
improved for the use of each daughter." Although the
name Johanna appears in the place of Johannes, yet the
ages of the children correspond exactly, and no doubt the
church records and the town records refer to the same
jDerson.

It appears by the Connecticut Colonial Records that
Aug. 1, 1639, Thomas Cornell was fined 305. for unreason-
able and immoderate drinking at the pinnace. In 1644
Stevenson and Mabbs attempted to kill Thomas Cornhil
near the house of Wophertson at Flatlands, the adjoining
town to Gravesend. The same year Thomas Cornel, a
soldier from Hertfordshire, aged 24 years, was found guilty
of desertion. These records probably refer to the same

Thomas Cornel (see notes by Charles B. Curtis in the N. E.
Geneal. Register^ April, 1897, also for further information
concerning this Thomas Cornell or Cornwell. Mr. Curtis
also shows conclusively that this Thomas is not our
Thomas,' Thomas').

II. William Cornwall came to Massachusetts about

1634. He and his first wife Joan were members, 1635,

of Rev. John Eliot's church at Roxbury. 1636 he went
with the "Great Removal" to Connecticut. 1637 was one
of the thirty-seven soldiers from Hartford in the expedition
against the Pequod Indians. 1638 he was at Saybrook.
1639 was back in Hartford and had a house and lot of 8
acres there, "No. 54, West of South St., South from the
lane" (near the north end of the present village square).
In the earliest record of his land at Hartford, dated Feb.,
1639, he is mentioned as "William Cornwell, Sergeant-at-
Arms." He lived in Hartford till 1651, was a member of
the church there, and probably all his children by his

second wife, Mary , were born there; but he did not

reside all of that period in the village, for a document
dated 1648 speaks of him as "at present resident in
Hocanum, in the bound of Hartford." 1651 he removed
with the first settlers to Middletown. His house lot there
was "near ye landing place by ye springe" (present corner
Main and Washington Sts.) His land at Middletown, on
both sides of the Connecticut River, was first recorded
Feb. 30, 1657, total amount 903 acres. He was representa-
tive from Middletown 1654, '57, '64, '65. 1664 he was
constable at Middletown. 1666 he received a grant of land
in East Hartford for his services in the Pequod War. His
town privileges, right of common, etc., in Hartford, he
held by the "courtise of the town." 1667 the General
Court at Hartford "freed William Cornwell' s head from
the paying of rates." July 10, 1668, he joined the recently
organized church at Middletown. 1670 he was assessed at
Middletown on £160, which was one of the largest assess-
ments on the list of 52 householders. April 2, 1674, he
made his will, in which he speaks of himself as "being
well stricken in years (though tlirongh mercy, in as perfect

use of my uuderstanding as ordinary men are of my years),
expecting my oliauge to be very near.'' He divides his
property among his eight children: John, William, Samuel,
Jacob, Thomas, Sarah, Hester Willcox and Elizabeth Hall,
and makes careful provision for his "loving wife Mary
Cornwall," both during her widowhood, and in the possible
event of her marrying again and being in need. He
requests his "loving brothers and friends Deac, Stocking
and to Deac. HalP' to oversee and execute the will to which
he signs his name. He died at Middletown, Feb. 21, 1678.
Estate £231. From what part of England William Corn-
Avall came is not known. The name in early documents is
variously written: Cornwell, Cornwall, Cornell, Cornel,
Cornil, Cornol, Corniel, Cornwayle (see Family of William
Cornwall by Edward E. Cornwall, M.D., N. E. Hist, and
Geneal. Register, Jan., 1895).

III. Gelyem or Gruilliame Cornelise, the common ancestor
of the Flatbush, Kings Co., family of Cornells, emigrated
to this country at an early period (was probably a Hugenot),
settled at Flatbush, and died prior to July, 1666. Aug. 9,
1658, he procured from Director Stuyvesant a patent for a
plantation in Midwort (Flatbush), as per p. 591, vol. 2, of
O'Callaghan's N, Y. 1661 he and his son Peter Geliamse,
"bought of Jane Evertse Bont a wery in Flushing on west
side of the highway, 600 rods in length and 48 rods and 8
feet in width, containing 48 morgens and 480 rods, also 2
pieces of salt medow of 5 morgens, and 2 pieces of plain
land of 5 morgens, 2 houses and building plots on the west
side of the highway of 16 rods in length and 12 rods in
bredth, with 2 houses and barns thereon, etc." The name
of his descendants for more than a century was Cornele,
with the accent on the e (from Cornelise or Cornells), and
but lately changed to Cornell. What Gruilliame' s proper
surname was (if he had any), has not been ascertained, but
from his name it is evident he was a Frenchman. His
descendants reside in Bucks Co., Pa., Eastern New Jersey,
and Kings Co., also on the Hudson River.*

Gelyem Cornelise has been erroneously described as the

IV. John Cornell, an officer in the British Army, was
with his regiment stationed for a time in the city of
Dublin, Ireland. AVhile there a son, William, was born to
him. When this son was two years old John Cornell came
to America to take part in the war between the British and
French. He fell at the storming of Fort Ticonderoga under
Al)ercrombie. He held a captain's commission at time of
his death. His wife and son remained in Dublin until the
latter was fifteen, when they came to America and settled
in New York City. They supported themselves by manu-
facturing and selling lace. William Cornell was born in
Dublin, Oct. 19, 1750, and came to America 1765. He was
married to Hannah Finch in the State of Connecticut. Xov.
5, 1774. Hannah Finch was born May ^'$>^ 1751. Soon
after his marriage he settled in Delaware Co., IS". Y. He
purchased a tract of wild land eight miles from the village
of Delhi, on the Delaware River, and lived upon it until he
was driven away by the British and Indians, during the
Revolutionary War. He was taken prisoner with three of
his neighbors by the Indians. They were marched down
the river some fifteen miles and camped for the night.
Their hands were bound fast upon their backs. They
were guarded by one Indian while the others slept. The
sentinel also fell asleep. William Cornell perceiving the
opportunity, was able to untie his hands and release his
fellow-prisoners. They armed themselves with the Indian
tomahawks, and slew the whole band except one who
escaped. Mr. Cornell and his family fled to Scoharie fort,
in the Mohawk Valley. The fort was besieged a long time
by the Indians, but they were not able to take it. During
his stay in the fort he joined the United States forces. He
held two commissions, one as ensign in the company of
Capt. John McMicken, belonging to the Fifth Ti-yon Co.
Regiment of Xew York State Militia, which regiment was
commanded by Col. John Harper; the other as a lieutenant
in a company of Rangers commanded by Capt. Hager.
During his service he was once taken prisoner by the

British, and being a fair writer was employed by tliem as
clerk and book-keeper. As lie sat writing, guarded by the
enemy, he complained that his ink was too thick, and
asked an officer to put some water in it. The officer gruffly
ordered him, with an oath, to water his own ink. Cornell
with the inkstand in his hand (hatless) walked down to the
brink of the Mohawk River, near at hand, and seeing he
was not observed by the enemy, threw away the inkstand,
and leaping into the river was soon out of sight and hearing.
Nearly the whole night he waded or swam down the river,
and just as day appeared, he arrived safely at the fort.
At the close of the Revolutionary War, he went back to
his farm, and in 1790 he purchased 1,000 acres of land,
nine miles down the river from Delhi village. He moved
on this tract of land 1791, and after selling portions of it at
different times, he finally sold the remainder and removed
with some of his family to the Genesee country about 1816.
The children of William and Hannah (Finch) Cornell, were:
John, b. Oct. 19, 1775. William, b. March 1, 1787.

Anna, b. March 4, 1777. Hannah, b. April 29, 1790.

Rebecca, b. June 7, 1778. Abigal, b. Oct. 20, 1792.

Mary Mead, b. Aug. 28, 1784. Phebe, b. Dec. 18, 1796.

William Cornell died in the town of Jerusalem, Yates
Co., N. Y., June 11, 1825, in his 75th year. The following
notice appeared in the Yates Republican^ June 14, 1825:
"Another Revolutionary Patriot gone — Died on the 11th
instant at his residence in Jerusalem, Yates Co., Mr. Wil-
liam Comwell in the 75th year of his age. In early life he
took an active part in the Revolutionary struggle of our
country. He was twice taken prisoner by the savages, and
present at the fall of Greneral Herkimer at the battle of
Oriskany, where he was wounded while in the discharge of
his duty as lieutenant in a company of Rangers, com-
manded by Capt. Hager. The deceased has left a large
circle of connections, friends and acquaintances to lament
his loss."

as do his descendants. The rest of the family spell their
name Cornell.

The English origin of our family has not yet been
traced, though considerable efforts have been made by the
late Hon. Ezra Cornell and others, but without success so
far. Parish churches in England have sometimes burned
down and their records with them. The writer visited one
in Essex where this had been the case. Possibly all traces
of our Thomas' may have been destroyed. Yet we may
hope the connecting link will yet be found.

Scharf , in his History of Westchester Co. , iV. Z. , gives
the following concerning this family:

"The early English name was written Gornewell, and
two generations before Thomas of Cornell' s Xeck ' Richard
Cornewell Citizen and Skynner of London" — as it stands
written in his will — who died in 1585, left a portion of the
wealth he had made in hides to found and endow ' a free

born,' and the school stands there yet near the handsome
church of Woodstock, in Oxfordshire. Some of the Eng-
lish branches of the family still write the name Cornewell,
Burke s Landed Gentry of Great Britain gives two branches,
the senior one writing Cornewall and the other Cornwall,
BurJce" s Peerage and Baronetage adds a third branch, a
family of Baronets in Hereford, who retain Cornewall, and
Burke traces the lineage of the whole family up through
the Barons of Burford to Richard de Cornewall, son of
Richard Earl of Cornewall, second son of King John,
younger brother of Richard Coeur de Lion."

But as this Richard Cornewall of London left no sons,
only daughters, we cannot trace our family to him.

The name appears in English records at very early
periods, in 1459 John Cornwall, squire of Bedford, was
excluded from act of Parliament attainting many. 1311
Joceus de Cornewayle was noncu^^ator for John de Somer-
legli returned to Parliament from Chichester, and there are
many other mentions of the name in English history. Dr.

to heraldry, computes that there are over twenty coat-of-

We have here a record of Cornwalls living about the
proper time for our purpose, and having estates in both
the original Counties of Essex and Hertfordshire. Among
the names borne by members of the family are Thomas,
William, John, Edward, George and Elizabeth, all of
which names are found among the children and grand-
children of Thomas of Rhode Island.* AVe have also a
family of Briggs living, and having estates in Hertfordshire
with same names, Rebecca, John and William, that were
borne by the wife of Thomas Cornell and her family in
America. I am informed that the wills of some of the
Hertfordshire Cornewells are to be found in Doctors Com-
mons, and perhaps an examination of these, and of the
parish registers, may bring to light the missing link and
establish the ancestry of Thomas Cornell and his wife
Rebecca Briggs.

The tradition prevails in England that all the Cornwells
or Cornwalls are descended from the Earls of Cornwall.
Whether this belief be well or ill founded, there are good
reasons for supposing that the Cornwells of Essex and
Hertfordshire have that origin.

The first Earldom of Cornwall was conferred by King
John on his son Richard in 1266. The title became extinct
in 1300, when Edward, son of Richard and second Earl of
Cornwall died without legitimate male issue. But he left
an illegitimate son, Richard, f ancestor of the Cornwalls.

Barons of Burford. King John granted to his son, the
Earl of Cornwall, the Castle and Manor of Berkhampstead,
in Hertfordshire, formerly belonging to the Kings of
Mercier. Richard made the castle his residence, and there

* Query: Might not Thomas of Rhode Island be a grandson of

t Burke gives two conflicting stories concerning this Richard. By one
account he was an illegitimate son of Beatrix, niece of Conrad, Elector of
Cologne, King of the Romans {Peerage, iS). The other account is that
Beatrix was the lawful wife, and Richard the son was by a mother not
named {Royal Families, XCIIl.).

he died in 1-272. When the title of Earl of Cornwall
became extinct, the manor and castle reverted to the crown.
In 1336 King Edward IV. advanced his eldest son Edward,
the Black Prince, to the title of Duke of Cornwall, and
bestowed on him the Castle and Manor of Berkhampstead,
to hold to him and his heirs, and to the eldest sons of the
Kings of England. Under that grant they are now held by
the Duke of Cornwall, which is one of the titles of the
Prince of Wales. The castle is at the present time in
ruins, and the estate is divided in small holdings, and
rented to a number of occupants.

Sir John Cornwall, gent., and son of King John,
married Elizabeth of Lancaster, daughter of John of Gaunt,
Duke of Lancaster, and sister of King Edward IV. Sir
John won distinction at the battle of Agincourt, where he
took xnisoner Louis de Borbon, Comte de Vandome, for
which service he was created Baron Fanhope. He died in
1413. His descent through the Barons of Burford are
numerous in England, and are now represented by George
Cornewall Legh, of High Leigh, Co. Chester, by Rev. Sir
George Henry Cornewall, of Moccas Court, Co. Hereford,
fifth and present baronet, by the Cornwalls of Berrington.
There can be no doubt that the Essex family whose lineage
is given above as found in the visitation of L5r)2, is descended
from the Earls of Cornewall, and the arms clearly indicate
royal descent in two lines. The Quarterings 1 and 4, the
arms of the Plantagenets, were borne by the fourth Earl of
Cornwall, and are still quartered by the Prince of Wales as
Duke of Cornwall. The quarterings 2 and 3 are derived
from the Earl of Kent, son of Edward II,, and grandfather
of "The Fair Maid of Kent." She became the wife of her
cousin "The Black Prince," who by this marriage was
entitled to quarter her arms. Among the descendants of
the Earl of Kent are the noble families of Norfolk, Suffolk,
Stamford, Wilton, Grey of Codnor, etc.

In Bolton's History of Westchester Co. an extensive
pedigree of the Cornell family is given, which is quite
valuable so far as concerns the branch in that county, but
as to other branches it abounds in serious errors. Bolton

Thomas Cornell came to America about 1638, with his wife
and most, if not all, of his children. He is first found in
Boston, where by a vote of the Town Meeting, Aug. 20, 1638,
he is permitted to buy " William Baulstone's house, yard, and
garden, backside of Mr. Coddington, and to become an in-
habitant." This property was situated in Washington Street,
between Summer and Milk Streets (see map). He sold it in
1643 to Edward Tyng, who had a warehouse, and brew house,
and constructed a dial there. Sept. 6, 1638, "Thomas Cornhill
was licensed upon tryal to keepe an inn in the room of Will
Baulstone till the next General Court." June 4, 1639, he "was
fined ^30 for several offences selling wine without license and

* He was from Essex, as his daughter Sarah is so described in her
marriage record.

beare at zd. a quart.*" Two days later he was abated ^i^io of his
tine, and allowed a month " to sell off his ware which is upon his
hand, and then to cease from keeping intertainment, and the
town to furnish another."

The Antinomians were great disturbers of the religious
peace of the people of Boston, and in 1637 Ann Hutchinson
and her adherents were expelled from the Colony. Among
them we do not find the name of Thomas Cornell, whose
vocation as an innkeeper perhaps saved him from doctrinal
errors, but among the obnoxious ones were his neighbors,
Baulstone and Coddington, and his brother-in-law John Briggs.
By the advice of Roger Williams, then settled at Providence,
the exiles purchased, March 28, 1638, from the Indians Canoni-
cus and Miantonomi, the island on which Newport now stands,
and on the north end of that island they began a settlement to
which they gave the name of Portsmouth. Thomas Cornell
arrived two years later and was admitted freeman of Ports-
mouth, Aug. 6, 1640. Feb. 4, 1641, "a piece of meadow," was
granted him to be fenced in at his own cost. The same year
he was made constable, and the following year ensign (name
spelt Cornill). At the same time Richard Morris was elected
captain, and Mr. Baulstone lieutenant. Some suppose this last
office to have been held by his son Thomas,^ as the father may
have been in New Amsterdam at that time.

In the autumn, 1642, he went to New Amsterdam, and it
has been supposed that Roger Williams and John Throck-
rnorton went with him, and for this reason: the fugitives from
Boston, who joined Roger Williams, had formed a sort of colony
in Rhode Island, but it was only a self-created government,
or squatter sovereignity that they had, and it was thought best
by them in 1642, that Roger Williams should go to England
and obtain a royal charter for his colony. He could not sail

* General Court held at Newtowne, 2. 9 m. in 1637. "It shall not be
lawful for any person that shall keepe any such inn or common victualling
house to sell or have in their houses any wine or strong waters, nor any
beare or other drinke other than such as may and shall be souled for \d. the
quart at the most." This law was repealed May 23, 1639. Thomas Litch-
ford's note book contains a copy of the petition of Thomas Cornell, setting
forth that in the winter time, he had much loss by his small beare which he
was at cost to preserve from the frost by fire, that he was ignorant of the
law, is sorry for his offenses, and that he hath not been heretofore accustomed
to such housekeeping, wherefore he prays fi)r a remission of his fine.

from Boston (which would be the nearest port) because he
was banished from Massachusetts, so he went to New Amster-
dam for that purpose, as the Dutch were more tolerant. There
was not (as to-day) many steamers departing every week for
England from that port, and he did not embark until June,
1643. ^^ know, moreover, that he went to England then, and
obtained a charter for his colony and returned. Roger Wil-
liams, Throckmorton and Cornell seem to have been much
associated together and friends, and this has led to the
supposition that they may have come from England in the
same ship; at any rate, we know that Roger Williams and
Throckmorton did.* About a year after Thomas Cornell's
arrival in New Amsterdam, Governor Winthrop reports " Mr.
Throckmorton and Mr. Cornell" established, with buildings,
etc., on neighboring plantations under the Dutch. f On Oct. 2,
1642, the local Dutch government granted him permission with
his associates (thirty-five families), to settle "within the limits
of the jurisdiction of their High Mightinesses to reside there in
peace" (this was about eleven miles from New Amsterdam).
After this general license to settle, Cornell and Throckmorton
made examination of the territory, procured a survey and map,
and on Jul}' 6, 1643. Gov. Kieft granted to John Throckmorton,
for himself and his associates, a tract of land in what is now
the town of Westchester J (see map). A serious Indian war,
though of short duration, was caused by Gov. Keift's unwise
attack upon two neighboring camps of Indians on the night
between Feb. 25 and 28, 1643, and in retaliation the Indians,
within the following month or two destroyed many of the
white settlers outside of the city; and many others, who escaped
fled panic stricken to New Amsterdam. § Roger Williams says:
"Mine eyes saw the flames of these towns, the flights and
hurrying of men, women and children, and the present removal

of all that could to Holland.* Gov. Winthrop says: "By the
mediation of Mr. Williams who was then there to go in a Dutch
ship to England, the Indians were pacified and peace re-estab-
lished between the Dutch and them." Cornell and Throck-
morton who were probably in New Amsterdam City limits at
that time escaped, but Mrs Hutchinson whose residence was
near Throckmorton's was killed. For, says Gov. Winthrop of
this event, -under date of Sept., 1643, "The Indians set upon
the English who dwelt under the Dutch. They came to Mrs.
Hutchinson in way of friendl}' neighborhood as they had been
accustomed to, and taking their opportunity they killed her
and Mr. Collins her son-in-law, and all of her family and such
of Mr. Throckmorton's and Mr. Cornell's families as were at
home, in all sixteen, and put their cattle into their barns and
burned them;" he also adds, "These people had cast off ordi-
nances and churches, and now at last their own people, and for
larger accommodation had subjected themselves to the Dutch,
and dwelt scatteringly near a mile asunder." Some that
escaped the Indian attack went back to Rhode Island. f
Thomas Cornell it appears during these troublous tiiues, re-
turned to Portsmouth, R. I., and secured a grant of land from
that town, Aug. 29, 1644, in company with Mr. Brenton and Mr.
Baulstone, "Butting on Mr. Porter's round Meadow," and on
Feb. 4, 1646, a grant of 100 acres J was made to Thomas Cornell
by the town of Portsmouth "on the south side of the Wading
River and so as to run from the river towards the land that was
laid out to Edward Hutchinson" (a son of Ann Hutchinson).
This may be considered the original Homestead of the Cornell
family. Previous grants were made to him in company with
other parties and as we will see the grant of Cornell's Neck
was later. This land or the part on which the house and
burial plot are situated has never been out of the family. In
Sept., 1894, Rev. John Cornell (the writer of this), purchased
from Mrs. Ellen Grinnell (Cornell) Smith and others about 80
acres of this grant, and in 1900, 45 acres more; a house has
been erected in colonial style on the site of the one that was
destroyed by fire, Dec. 21, 1889, and somewhat on its old plan,

that is, the plan which it is understood to have had before it
was modernized about 50 years before its destruction.

After the restoration of peace in New Netherland, brought
about b}'' the mediation of Roger Williams,* Thomas Cornell
returned to the Dutch Colony, but not, it seems, to restore and
rebuild what had been destroyed of his property on Throgg's
Neck. But he asked for a tract adjacent, fronting on the south
and west of that of Throckmorton, from which it was separated
on the shore by the mouth of Westchester Creek, and extend-
ing thence about two miles on the Long Island Sound to the
Bronx River and extending back two miles or more from the
sound to the westerly edge of the present village of West-
chester, formerly and even now known as Cornell's Neck; this
estate was granted by Governor William Kieft to Thomas
Cornell by patent, dated July 25, 1646 (see appendix and
map.) This was only the third private grant of land of which
there is any record in Westchester Co. Jonas Bronck in 1637,
and Throckmorton in 1642, being previous, and possibly Adrian
Van der Donk in 1646, and this grant of Cornell's Neck was
four years after Thomas Cornell's first settlement in West-
chester Co., in 1642. Thus he was there four years prior to
Adrian Van der Donk at Yonkers, in 1646. Thirty-five years
before Col. Stephanus Van Cortland, in 1677, obtained from
Governor Andros permission to make his first purchase of lands
from the Indians in Westchester Co., nearly forty years earlier
than the first acquisition of Westchester lands by Frederick
Phillipse within the present towns of Greenburgh and Mt.
Pleasant in 1681, and thirty years before his first interest in
Yonkers, 1672, and fifteen years before the great-grand-father
of the illustrious George Washington first settled in Virginia
in 1657.-^

Cornell's Neck was within the limits of Greater New York.
After the death of Mr. Cornell, Thomas Pell set up a counter
claim to the land, and litigation ensued between him and Sarah
Bridges, in the course of which it appeared in evidence that
Thomas Cornell had been at considerable charge in building,
manuring and planting, that he was after several years driven
off by the barbarous violence of the Indians, who burned his

liouse and destroyed his cattle, that the widow Cornell, sole
executrix of the hist will and testament of her husband
(althoug-h neither the will nor a copy was produced), conveyed
the land to Sarah Bridges and her sister. The litigation estab-
lished the validity of the Cornell title and Sarah Bridges was
put in possession of the land. A new patent was issued April
15, 1667, for " Cornell's Neck," setting forth the fact that Thomas
Cornell's interest devolved long since on Sarah Bridges, one of
the daughters of Thomas Cornell, deceased, and that said
Sarah had conveyed her interest by deed to William Willett,
her eldest son, to whom the new patent was issued (see appen-
dix). The history of this grant and of the litigation respecting-
it is given at length with the documents in Bolton'' s History of
WestcJiester Co. Thus we infer that after several years
residence at "Cornell's Neck," perhaps nine years, Thomas
Cornell was again driven by the Indians from his property in
New Netherland, and returned to his homestead at Portsmouth,
where he lived, and died, and was buried. For we find a
record of him as serving on a coroner's jury in 1653, and in
1654 Thomas Cornell was one of the commissioners of "ye
foure-towns upon ye re-uniting of ye Colonic of Providence
Plantations." He probably died the following year.

An old memorandum made by Stephen B. Cornell of Ports-
mouth about the beginning of the last century, and still
preserved in the family, states that Thomas Cornell, by will
dated Dec. 5, 165 1, gave to his wife Rebecca all his real estate;
also that Rebecca, by will dated Sept. 2, 1664, gave to her son
Thomas all her land lying on the west side of Rhode Island,
and lying between the farms of Thomas Hazard and John
Coggeshall. Neither of these wills is known to be now in
existence, nor any copy of them. The records of the Society
of Friends at Portsmouth, R. I., have numerous entries re-
specting Thomas and Rebecca Cornell and their descendants.

As some of the preceding statements with regard to
Thomas' two residences in New Amsterdam have been ques-
tioned, it has seemed best to give here a letter written by
Roger Williams which may be considered authority and throw
some light on the subject.

Letter of Roger Williams to the General Court of Massa-
chusetts, Oct. 5, "1654. Published recently in the Nezvport
Daily N'ezus:

Genealogy of the Cornell Family. 23

" In one of Roger Williams* letters to the General Court of Massa-
chusetts, Oct. 5, 1654, he says, referring to past events:

' Not having liberty of taking ship in your jurisdiction I was forced to
repair unto the Dutch, when mine eyes did see the first breaking forth of
that Indian war, which the Dutch began, upon the slaughter of some Dutch
by the Indians; and they questioned not to finish it in a few days, insomuch
that the name of peace, which some offered to mediate, was foolish and
odious to them. But before we weighed anchor their boundaries were
flames. Dutch and English were slain. Mine eyes saw their flames at the
town, and the flights and hurries of men, women and children, the present
removal of all that could for Holland; and after vast expenses and mutual
slaughter of Dutch, English and Indians about four years, the Dutch were
forced, to save their plantations from ruin, to make up a most unworthy and
dishonorable peace with the Indians.'

It was in this war, in September, 1643, that Ann Hutchinson and 16 of
her family were murdered by the Sewanoy Indians. Her daughter Susan,
then eight years old, was carried into captivity, and four years afterwards
was redeemed by the Dutch and returned to Rhode Island. The place
where Mrs. Hutchinson was killed was long after known at Manhattan as
' Ann Hook's Neck,' since known as Pelham Manor. Near by, at that time,
there was a more numerous settlement of Rhode Islanders. John Throck-
morton, who had been found worthy of excommunication with Roger Wil-
liams from the Salem Church, and who had accompanied Williams to
Providence, had obtained a grant of half a league of land at what is now
known as ' Throg's Neck,' and he, with Thomas Cornell from Rhode Island,
John Updike, afterwards changed to 'Opdyke,' and others, sought to estab-
lish a colony in the same neighborhood, but they were driven off by the
Indians and went to Long Island, from whence some of them, seeing Mrs,
Hutchinson's house on fire, crossed over in a boat to make an effort for her
rescue. They succeeded in rescuing some persons, not of the Hutchinson
family, but at the expense of the lives of two of their number. Throck-
morton returned to Rhode Island; Opdyke went to New Jersey; while
Cornell remained in New York, and the descendants of each of these
persons have among them names which have attained to an enviable
distinction."

1657, Dec. 10, Rebecca Cornell, widow, was granted 10 acres
in lieu of 10 acres granted her husband. 1659, Rebecca Cor-
nell deeded these 10 acres to her son and daughter Kent.
1 66 1, April 30, Rebecca Cornell, widow and executrix of
Thomas Cornell, sold Richard Hart for ^30, two parcels of
land containing 8 acres with house, fruit trees, etc. Confirmed
by her son Thomas, 1663. 1663, Oct. 25, Rebecca conveys to
her son Joshua one-sixth of a share of land at Coshena and
Acookset (part of Dartmouth) in Plymouth Jurisdiction. This
he conveyed Nov. 21, 1664, to his brother Samuel; also 20 acres
of land he bought of William Earle. July 27, she deeded to

of a share* (see No. 10). 1773, Feb. 8, Friend's Records state
" Rebecca Cornell, widow, was killed strangely at Portsmouth in
her own dwelling house, was twice viewed by the Coroner's
Inquest, digged up and buried again by her husband's grave
in their own land." May 23, her son Thomas was charged with
murder, and after a trial that now reads like a farce, was con-
victed and executed. Among the witnesses of this trial were
John Briggs (brother of Rebecca), Mar}^, wife of John Cornell
(her son). Thomas, Stephen, Edward and John, sons of
Thomas,'^ Rebecca Woolsey (her daughter), etc. It appears
that the old lady having been sitting by the fire smoking a
pipe, a coal had fallen from the fire or her pipe, and that she
was burned to death. But on the strength of a vision which
her brother John Briggs had, in which she appeared to him
after her death and said: "See how I was burned with fire."
It was inferred she was set fire to, and that her son who was
last with her did it, and principally on this evidence Thomas
Cornell was tried, convicted and hung for her murder. Durfee
in his Legal Tracts of Rhode Island, comments on the strange-
ness of this trial and the injustice of the execution. The
writer of this remarked to a leading lawyer of Newport (who
knows much of the history of Rhode Island), that there seemed
very little evidence to convict this Thomas Cornell, the lawyer's
answer was simply: "There was no evidence." (For further
particulars concerning him, see Austin'' s Geneological Diction-
ary of Rhode Island, Bolton's Westchester Co., History of the
Mott Family, etc.)

* It appears Rebecca had three-sixths {Yz) of a share; she conveyed to
Samuel, one-sixth, to Joshua, one-sixth, and perhaps one-sixth to John who
had lived in Dartmouth. Thomas she gave land in Portsmouth; Richard,
her other son, had gone to Long Island 1656, and had probably received his

patrimony.

appoint an executor or executors for the true performance
thereof, and that this said Towne Council doe make a will
according to law, divide the estate to this wife and children of
the said Thomas." July 4, a writing was presented to the
court of Plymouth by William Earle, of Dartmouth, which was
by some termed the will of Thomas Cornell of Rhode Island,
late deceased, in which is inentioned the disposal of some estate
in our colony. The court deferred accepting it for the present
and appointed William Earle, and John Cornell, brother of the
deceased, to take care of the estate that it be not squandered.
Oct. 29, the court ordered that such part of estate as deceased
left in Plymouth colony, should be divided as follows: to widow
and three children he had by her, one-half; to four eldest
children of said Cornell, the other half, which they were to
have in land, being sons. The right of widow Sarah for life,

The names of their children if any, are not known, but it is
on record that "John Lawrence Esq., of his Majesty's Council
having a son 7ion compos mentis married and has an estate at
Jamaica in Queens Co., his wife lately deceased, is appointed
guardian to his son's personal estate by Gov. Benjamin
Fletcher, as late as 17 12, he was still living and insane." (See
TJie Tliomas Book, by Rev. Lawrence B. Thomas, D. D.)

1647, Aug. II, John Dolling one of her admirers, evidently
not an acceptable one, was ordered by the local court "not to
visit nor trouble Sarah Willett." This was about the time of
her marriage to Charles Bridges. 1650, Sponsor for Samuel
Woolsey, and 1662, for Elizabeth Cornell, daughter of Richard. '■'
1664, Charles Bridges and Sarah, his wife, enter a complaint
against William Newman and Thomas Senequam, an Indian.
The case seems to have been decided in their favor, for on
the 27 March, 1665, the constable of Westchester was required
by Gov. Nicholls "to deliver unto Mr. Bridges and his wife or

their assigns, the g-oods that lye attached in your hands as of
right belonging- to them." 1665, they sue Thomas Pell of
Onkway, Conn., who laid claim to Cornell's Xeck, on the
ground that the land was under the government of Connecti-
cut, that the Dutch occupation was never legal, and that he had
bought the land of the natives in 1654, and paid for it. The
case was decided in their favor, viz.: "that the land in question
doeth of right belong to the plaintiff and that the defendant
shall pay the costs and charges of suit, and six pence damage."
Sarah Cornell alias Bridges, conveyed her interest to William
Willett her eldest son, who obtains a patent therefore April
15, 1667, from Gov. Richard Nicholls* (see Appendix.) From
this lawsuit it appeared a grant and patent from the Dutch
Governor Kieft to Thomas Cornell, deceased, fathei of Sarah,
was produced and read in court; that Thomas Cornell was
in lawful possession of this estate for some years; that he
was at considerable charges in building and other improve-
ments; that he was driven off his lands by the barbarous viol-
ence of the Indians who burned his house and goods and
destroyed his cattle; that Thomas Cornell's widow was left
sole executrix of her deceased husband's last will and testa-
ment, and so had power to convey the premises. Neither the
will nor a copy of it was produced, but it was allowed as there
were no exceptions made against it; that widow Cornell had
conveved the said neck of land to Sarah Bridges and her sister;
that there was likewise an act from the Dutch Gov. Stuyves-
ant produced, where he buys the same lands of the Indians
again (although alleged to be bought long before), and con-
firms it to Thomas Cornell. f 1668, Sarah Bridges and Richard
Cornell executors of Beachman, who may have married Eliza-
beth a daughter of Sarah. 1673, Sarah and Rebecca make
their brother Richard, attorney, to collect moneys under their
mother's will. 1682, Charles and Sarah Bridges' joint will
proved as to Charles, Aug. 28, to our son Thomas Willett, half
of certain lands; John Lawrence witness on probate. f

It may be well to mention here, that Cornell's Xeck, which
was a grant to Thomas' from Gov. Kieft, July 21, 1646. was

occupied for a number of years by him, but that being driven
away by the Indians he returned to Portsmouth, Rhode Island,
where he had a grant from that town of over one hundred
acres. Feb. 4, 1646, and here he lived and died and was hurried
in the family cemetery as before mentioned. He seems to
have left all his landed estate to his wife, Rebecca. She gave
Cornell's Neck to her daughters, Sarah and Rebecca, and the
latter conveyed her interest in it to her sister, Sarah, who thus
became the second whole owner of the property. She seems
never to have occupied the place, but have preferred the
security of city life in New Amsterdam, and Flushing was
probably the summer residence of her first husband, Thomas
Willett, also of her third husband, John Lawrence. After the
law suit she conveyed Cornell's Neck to her eldest son, William
Willett, who occupied this place, but died unmarried; his
nephew. Col. Thomas Willett, was his successor as owner of
the estate. The Willetts were a family of considerable prom-
inence in the early history of the colony and filled many
political and military offices. Cornell's Neck remained in the
possession of the Willett family for over one hundred years.
It was however afterwards divided, and in the absence of male
heirs, passed out of the family and Cornell's Neck is now
owned by the families of Ludlow and Beach, some Roman
Catholic institutions, and others.

Charles Bridges (Sarah Cornell's second husband), was
English Secretary for the Province under Gov. Stuyvesant, in
1652; was in the Governor's council. Military Commissary, in
1660; patentee of Flushing and of Gravesend; lived in Pearl
Street, New York; estate ^400. {N. Y. Genealogical Record
and Mott Family History.)

His wife carried on a small trade in merchandise adjoining
the City Hall, Wall Street, head of Broad; and had a house on
State Street.

DEED OF THOMAS » CORNELL.

Genealogy of the Cornell Family. 37

27 James, m. Abigal Tripp,* 9 mo./2o, 1784.

1673, Witness at the trial of his father Thomas.^ 1686, free-
man. 1688, grand juror, Portsmouth. 17 16, Stephen and wife
Hannah to son William, and in 1755 William to son Caleb, deed
of the former homestead of his father, Stephen, deceased, in
Dartmouth. 1723, John Cornell buys from William Cornell
land in Dartmouth. 1726, division, and 1724 William and John
Cornell, C. Gifford and J. Duval, division. These three deeds
suggest that William and John were brothers; Gilford and Duval
were brothers-in-law, and that their father had died. In that
case Stephen had two daughters not found. Stephen Cornell
witness of Mial Pierce's will, dated 1764, was his brother-in-law.
The will of Samuel (10), date 1699, names three children only,
but it was not proved till 17 15, in which interval he may have
married again and had other children, and some authorities
place this Stephen as son of Samuel. But I find no records
warranting me to place Stephen otherwise than son of Thomas.^

28 John, m. (probably) Elizabeth Wiltzie; b. about 1690.

30 William.

1673, witness in his father's trial. 1680, among the rate
payers of Hempstead were John Cornwell, 50 acres, ^40, and
Edward Cornwell, ^60. 1684, Hannah, wife of John Cornwell,
sued by Winefred Thorne for defamation of character, non

* James Cornell, son of Stephen and Hannah, his wife, of Dartmouth,
in the Co. of Bristol in ye Province of Massachusetts Bay, in New England,
and Abigal Tripp, daughter of Joseph Tripp and Elizabeth, his wife, of
Dartmouth, m. 20 day, 9 mo., 1784 {Quaker Records).

t Census Queens Co., 1698, John Cornwell, (wife) Hannah. Children:
John, Elizabeth, William, Edward. Jeremiah Smith's will, 1725, names his
eldest daughter Hannah, who d. leaving daughters Elizabeth and Ann, also
his second daughter Elizabeth Cornell, who had daughters Elizabeth and
Hannah. It does not clearly appear who these were, for it is hardly prob-
able that the father of John Cornell's wife was living in 1725 (see Thomas,^
Thomas,'' Thomas,^ Richard,'^ Thomas,' also No. 28.)

suit. 16S9, Richard Cornell of Rockaway, and wife Elizabeth,
convev to "John Cornell, our cousin (nephew), living in Suc-
cess," 50 acres near Success; part east on road from Hempstead
g-reat plains — supposed land of his (John's) brother, Edward.
1 70 1, he buys from Daniel Whitehead 60 acres east of the
path from Hempstead to Madnams (Great) Neck. 1705, survey
of 100 acres soiith of the plains for John of Success. 1715-26,
John Corn well, vestryman of St. George's Church, Hempstead,
also John Corn well, Jr. 1738-42, John and John, Jr., petition
for charter of the church. (This is doubtful, as the family of
this John does not much figure in the church records.)

Island). It is a singular fact that when Colonel, he invaded
Long Island and took possession of St. George's Church, Hemp-
stead, which his cousin William' Cornell (Richard,^ Thomas')
and others of the family were instrumental in establishing and
sustaining; of this Judge Thomas Jones, who was a member of
of the parish, says in his History of New York during the Rev-
olutionary War: "Col. Cornell of the Rhode Island line of the
Continental Army with one thousand men established his
headquarters at Hempstead, seeking out Tories. He converted
the Episcopal Church into a store house, forbid the parson to
pray for the King or any of the Royal Family and made use of
the communion table as a convenience for his Yankees to eat
upon." How long Col. Cornell remained here is not known
but probably not long for in Aug. 1776, the British troops
landed upon Long Island and the Seventeenth Light Dragoons
took up their quarters here. [History of St. George's Church,

He made his home in Ponegansett, Bristol Co., Mass., and
engaged in whale fishery previous to the Revolution, and in
July, 1776, he sold his ship and cargo in the Dutch West Indies
to avoid capture by the British ship-of-war Potnona, cruising in
those waters. He was subsequently captured by a British
cruiser, and confined in one of the British ships in the harbor
of New York. After suffering in those British hulks, he was
released in 1778 or 1779, and returned to Ponegansett. Thence
he emigrated to Easton, Washington Co., N. Y., with his
wife and one or two children about 1780. He resided there
about nine years, then removed to Cambridge, same county,
and settled on a farm near Buskirk's Bridge. Here he
acquired considerable property, reared a family of seven chil-
dren, and died in his sixty-third year.

He is described as robust and strong in form, with a dignified
presence, and the manners of a gentleman of the old school.
He was kind in his family relations, esteemed as a neighbor
and friend, diligent and prosperous in business affairs, but
owing to some losses arising from certain purchases of land,
he became disheartened and subject to settled melancholy,
which finally resulted in suicide. He and his wife joined the
Quakers and were for many years members of that society.

Matthew Cornell and his wife, Elizabeth, were buried in
the Quaker burying ground, Easton, Washington Co., X. Y.

She, or her mother Rebecca, married for her second husband,

was largely interested in whale oil, probably then the princi-
pal business in Dartmouth. He bought land of Joseph
Russell, whose daughter Mary Russell married Peleg Cornell,

113, 1739-

Her first husband, Clement Biddle, was a colonel in the
Revolutionary army. After sixty years absence from her
Newport home, she returned for a visit there, and in a letter
to a friend gives a description of her old home. As this letter,
dated 1824, and furnished the writer by one of her descendants,
throws some light on the history of the family and their
prosperity in those times, I have thought best to insert it
here, though there are perhaps some errors in it:

"After an absence of sixty years I found the Mansion house (near New-
port, R. I.), in precisely the same state that I left it. It is situated on the
east side of the Island, six miles from the town of Newport. The farm
connected with it contained 120 acres, besides two other farms, containing
180 acres each, which were owned by my father's brothers, William Cornell
and George Cornell. We also visited another farm belonging to my father
on the west side of the Island, containing the same number of acres. 1
went to see my father's town residence in Newport, a very good house in
Thames street, opposite the Liberty Tree, and another dwelling house
which he leased and resided in many years, opposite the Parade Grounds
near the State house. At the early age of fifteen years my father, Gideon
Cornell, at the time of his father's death (Thomas Cornell who died at the
age of 55), came into the possession of a considerable landed estate, the
farms and house above mentioned, and 15,000 Spanish milled dollars in
cash, besides a very considerable estate in the Island of Jamaica. Thomas
Cornell died in the year 1726, and his son, my father, in the year 1766, at
the same age, viz.: 55, at Kingston, in the Island of Jamaica, where he had

gone to receive a large sum of money awarded to him by the British
government. I was his only child, and at the time of his death he was the
King's Lieut.-Governor, and Chief Justice of the colony of Rhode Island
(his commissions as such are in the possession of Chapman Biddle, his
great-grandson).

I, Rebecca Biddle, was born in the year 1755, at my father's farm on the
east side of the Island of Rhode Island, in Middletown township, six miles
from the town of Newport. My father, Gideon Cornell, in the year 1732, at
the age of 21, married Rebecca \'aughan. I had a brother who died an infant
at the age of nine months. My mother's father, Captain Daniel Vaughan,
was master of a vessel then under his command on Ocracoke Bar on the coast
of North Carolma. I will relate to you the following circumstances connected
with his loss. In the year 1717, an old woman in Newport reported to be a
witch and known by the name of Mother Carey, came to the house of my aunt
Cadman (where my grandfather Capt. Vaughan then resided), where was a
quantity of fresh butter put up for the intended voyage. Mother Carey told
the captain that she must have one of these kegs of butter, which, however
he would not give her, when she observed to him that he would repent of it,
which the captain did not regard, although his friends (such was the super-
stition of the day) urged him to give the old woman the butter. Shortly
after this time the vessel he commanded sailed from Newport bound to
North Carolina, and on Christmas Day, 1717, arrived and came to anchor off
Ocracoke Bar on the coast of North Carolina. Several of Captain Vaughan's
friends saw the brig come to anchor, went down to the shore to meet him and
distinctly observed a boat putting off for the shore from the brig. It being
a very bitter cold day, they remarked that they would go to the only house
on the beach and warm themselves before the captain and his people came
on shore. After remaining in the house some time, they became anxious
about the boat, and accordingly went out to look for her; they could
perceive no sign of the boat or of the appearance of any persons being on
the brig. They then all went out to the brig, and upon getting on board
found the kettle boiling in the caboose, the sails furled and every thing in
order, but no living thing on board except a little dog."

From this letter it appears that Mrs. Rebecca Biddle was
her father Gideon's only heir, and as he seems to have gotten
the lion's share of his father's property, that the inheritance of
the family went to the Biddies of Philadelphia.

He is one of the seven mentioned in Applcton's Cyclopedia
of Biography.

Ezra Cornell, founder of Cornell University, was born at
Westchester, N. Y., Jan. 11, 1807. In childhood he removed
with his parents to De Ruyter, Madison Co., N. Y., where his
youth was passed. He located at Ithaca, Tompkins Co., in
1828, where he was employed many years as superintendent of
Colonel Beebe's mills. While thus engaged in 1831, he pro-
jected and excavated the Ithaca water power tunnel, and some
years later he constructed the Beebe dam, thus greatly enlarg-
ing the capacity of the Fall Creek water power.

In 1843 Mr. Cornell was employed by the Secretary of the
Treasury to superintend the erection of the experimental line
of telegraph between Washington and Baltimore, for which
Congress had made an appropriation of $30,000, to demonstrate
the utility of Prof. S. F. B. Morse's telegraph invention as a
means of practical communication between distant points.
Although completely successful for the purpose, the Post-
master-General, to whom the proposition had been referred to
acquire the invention at a valuation of $100,000, as an adjunct
to the postal establishment, reported to Congress that in his
opinion no rate of tariff could be adopted which would enable
the telegraph to become self-supporting, and therefore he
recommended the declination of the proposition.

Contrary to the opinion of the Postmaster-General, Mr. Cor-
nell was fully convinced that the telegraph possessed elements
of commercial success if once fairly presented for public favor,
and he determined to devote himself to its development.
After many months of laborious effort the reqiiisite means
were finally enlisted, and the line was, in 1845, extended from
Baltimore to Jersey City. By that time public appreciation

Genealogy of tJie Cornell I'aiuily. 109

was fully demonstrated and the telegraph lines were rapidly
extended in every direction over the United States. Mr.
Cornell was one of the most active and enterprising telegraph
pioneers, and was one of the principal founders of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, of which, for twenty years, he was
a director, and the largest individual stockholder.

From 1 86 1 to 1867 Mr. Cornell served two years in the
State Assembly, and four years as a State Senator, devoting
himself assiduously to public affairs. Foreseeing danger of
wasteful loss in the pending State policy of disposing of the
great Federal Land. Grant of 1862 for educational purposes,
Mr. Cornell contributed a personal endowment of about
$1,000,000 for an institution which should also receive for its
support the entire income of the Land Grant Fund. As the
State was compelled by the Federal law to sell the 990,000
acres of land, Mr. Cornell purchased the land scrip and located
it upon the public domain, contracting with the State to pay to
Cornell University every dollar of profit to be realized from
the lands when sold. L"p to present date the L'niversity has
already realized from Mr. Cornell's direct and indirect endow-
ment about $5,000,000. while lands yet unsold are expected to
increase the aggregate of his benefactions by at least another
Si, 000,000.

Inheriting a vigorous constitution from his father, who had
lived to the mature age of 91, Mr. Cornell with his temperate
and orderly habits, had good prospects of long life which was
brought to a premature and painful ending Dec. 9, 1874, at the
early age of 67 years and 10 months, from a six month's siege
of pneumonia which he contracted in traveling at night in the
interest of the University. {Appletofi's Cyclopcedia of American

His father died while he was yet a child. His mother mar-
ried a second time. Paul was but nine years old when the
family remoyed to Ohio, and fourteen when they settled in
Adams Co.. 111., where his step-father practised medicine, and
designed that profession for his step-son. It was not howeyer,
to the young man's taste and he resolyed to fit himself for the
law. This he did, working as a field hand during the summer
to pay his school expenses in the winter. After several terms
in a select school he became a teacher, deyoting his spare time
to the study of law. He then entered the law ofBce of Hon.
William A. Richardson (afterwards United States Senator).
After two years of study here and elsewhere, he was admitted
to the bar, and on June i, 1S47, took passage in a stage coach
(there were then no railroad, or canals to Chicago) from Joliet,
111., for Chicago. He arrived in that city, as he is proud to
relate, with his lawyer's license and $1.50 in his pocket with a
small package of clothes. He registered his name at a little
tavern and began his legal career. In this he has been
eminently successful, the firm of Cornell & Barron having a
larger business in their line of legal work than any other firm
in the city. He has been equally successful in his real estate
investments; having purchased 300 acres on the Lake shore,
south, he laid out a town, and built the Hyde Park House. He
also founded a town in 1871, bearing his name. The Cornell
watch factory was one of its first improvements and was success-
fully operated till the fall of 1874, when it was sold to William
C. Ralston of San Francisco, Cal. All this has been absorbed in
Chicago, but a fine avenue in this part of the city bears the
Cornell name. Mr. Cornell has served as Clerk of the Probate
Court and was one of the Board of Commissioners and did a
great deal to perfect the system of parks in the city of Chicago.
He and his family are Presbyterians and have contributed
liberally to that church, having given the land on which their
first chapel was built in his neighborhood, as well as land on
which to build stores and serve as an endowment fund. This
is now very valuable property. He is also a large contributor
to the new and costly church the congregation subsequently
built. He is interested in other Christian work.

Union Telegraph Company, and for more than thirty years
was continuously re-elected to that position. For many years
he served as Vice-President, and in 1875 was designated by the
Board of Directors as Acting President of the company. He
had also been extensively interested and occupied in the
management of banks, insurance, railway, steamboat and other
corporations. Pie is President of the Cornell Library and
Trustee of Cornell University since 1865.

While thus active in business affairs, Mr. Cornell devoted
much attention to political duties, and has exerted potent
influence in the counsels of the Republican party, both local
and general. For ten years he was Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee until elected Governor in 1879. His
management of the Republican campaign of 1872, resulting in
the re-election of President Grant, won for him eminent repute
as a sagacious and effective political manager, and the results
of that exciting canvas were largely credited to the inspiration
of his leadership. His services were most generously ac-
knowledged by many leading Republicans of the United States
who united in tending him a magnificent souvenir testimonial
which is one of his most valued possessions.

As Supervisor of Ithaca, State Capitol Commissioner,
Speaker of the Assembly, Surveyor of Customs, Port of New
York, and U. S. Naval Officer, Mr. Cornell rendered notable
service as a public official. In each of those positions he
exhibited an independence of character which in many respects
rendered his gubernatorial term one of historical importance
in the Empire State.

Inaugurated Governor of New York Jan., i, 1880, at the
age of forty-seven, with twenty years' experience in political
antagonisms and important official service, Mr. Cornell's ex-
tended personal acquaintance and great familiarity with public
affairs, and his resolute personality were rare qualifications
for the exercise of administrative duties. He urged upon the
Legislature reformation of the revenue laws, and under his
recommendation measures were projected and enacted which
added largely to the resources and revenues of the State.
Women were rendered eligible to vote and hold ofhcial position
in school boards, and their participation therein has largely
exterminated monstrous abiises of bribery formerly existing
relative to sxipply and change of school books. He brought

I ^4 (/(•;/ jv?A'i;;)' of iJw Coriicll f'a>f/i/]'.

ihe State prisons to a self-supporting basis, and conducted
them on thoroiigli business principles, free from all political
intlnences. He abstained from the tise of the pardoning
power which had often been a discredit to other admini-
strations. His appointments to office were notable for fitness
and qualification for duties required, and it is gratifying to
record that no scandal ever resulted from any appointments
made by him as Governor.

The most prominent characteristic of Governor Cornell's
administration was the sturdy and independent exercise of the
veto power. Friends and foes admitted the resoh;te and
impartial hand with which he protected public interests from
spoliation; special legislation sought for selfish private interest
was firmly resisted, and improvident appropriations were
ruthlessly vetoed. The National Guard was reorganized into
a strong, compact and efficient body by dismissal of inefficient
regiments and companies, thus leaving the military fund
available for the better support of a small but more useful
force. A State camp of instruction was established by him,
which has become a pattern of militia training in many States.
His military administration is " admitted to have been the
beginning of a new era in the militia of the United States.

The New York State Board of Health and the State Rail-
way Commission were products of Governor Cornell's urgent
recommendations, and have proved highly advantageous to the
public welfare. He put a stop to the enormous expenditures
for newly projected public buildings. During his term the
Woman's Reformatory at Hudson was the only new public
building undertaken. He enforced economy in public expen-
ditures below that of any Governor's term within the previous
thirty years, or since. In 1882 he recommended a modification
of the State usury laws, as applied to demand loans, which was
enacted by the Legislature, and has, in the opinion of those
best qualified to judge, resulted in equalizing the importance
of New York with London, as one of the chief monetary
centres of the world, to a greater extent than any other legal
enactment in our history.

* Nothing is known of the wife of Richard Cornell, beyond the fact that
her name was Elizabeth. The date of the marriage must have been about
1655, and as it is not recorded In New Amsterdam where other Cornell rec-
ords are found, it seems probable that it took place on Long Island, not long
after Richard Cornell settled there. Edward Jessup was Justice of the Peace
at Newtown, where he settled about 1653; this town adjoining Flushing,
where Richard Cornell lived. Jessup removed about 1663, to Westchester
and in 1665, he represented that town in the Hempstead Convention, of
which Richard Cornell was a member. In 1666 or earlier, he purchased a
tract of land now known as Hunt's Point, adjoining Cornell's Neck, then
owned by Sarah Bridges. It is reasonable to suppose that Jessup's purchase
was a result of his intimacy with Richard Cornell and Sarah Bridges. By
his will, Aug. 16, 1666, Jessup appoints his wife sole executrix and names as
overseers of his will "my well beloved friends Mr. Richard Cornhill, Justice
of the Peace, Mrs. Sarah Bridges, my well beloved brother-in-law John Bur-
roughs, and Ralph Hunt." That Jessup should have placed Cornhill and
Bridges first, naming them before his brother-in-law, and nephew Hunt who
was probably a kmdsman of Thomas Hunt, perhaps son-in-law, seems to
indicate some strong family tie and this belief is strengthened by the fact
that Flushing where they lived was a long way from Westchester and that
one of these overseers was a woman and therefore not likely to have been
chosen for business considerations. All this seems to point to the probabil-
ity that Richard Cornell's wife was a relative, perhaps a sister of Edward
Jessup.

He was settled at Flushing-, L. I., probably before 1656, in
which year his name appears in the account book of John
Bowne now in the Library of the Long Island Historical Society.

" Court Proceedings, May 4, 1663. Hendrick Janzen (Cooper)
of the ship Purmerland Church, now a prisoner, acknowledged
that he with Jasper Abrahamzen, committed great violence at
Rendel Huit's house and forced his wife to give them to eat;
they proceeded to Joris Wolsey's house and demanded drink,
so that Wolsey & Ely Douty & Ritzert Cornewell had enough
to do to put them out, then they went to Carel Van Brugge's
house and demanded drink, and continued their violence in a
manner indecent to be mentioned, so that Card & Douty &
Ritzert Cornewell had enough to do before they could get them
out, not without tearing a flap or fall of his unmentionables,
which they removed in the shoving out of his body. Ordered
that they be scourged and banished." {Records of New Ams-
terdavi, IV., 234.)

In the same year, 1663, the Town Clerk of Flushing informed
the Governor that Richard Cornhill had been sent to agree
with him about tithes. He was authorized to offer "100 Schapel
of grain, ^4 of peas & )4 of wheat" ( Wallcfs History of Ftush-
i7ig). 1665, he was delegate from Flushing to the Hempstead
Convention that framed the " Dukes Laws," the first code made
in the Colony. Four of the writer's ancestors were members
of this Convention, viz.: Richard Cornell, Jacques Cortelyou,
Frederick Lubbertsen (from Brooklyn), and John Stryker (from
Flatbush). This Convention was assembled under the rule of
Governor Nicholls. Long Island, Staten Island and Westches-
ter were united to form the District or County of Yorkshire
and many of the provisions were evidently applicable to York-
shire alone {Waller's History of Fhishing). Justice of the
Peace in 1666, also Feb. 16, patentee of Flushing from Gover-
nor Nicholls with seventeen others among Avhom were John

Lawrence and William his brother, Charles Bridges, etc. Feb.
20, in the same year, he bought from Thomas Hicks, land on
Madnan's (Great) Neck, which in 1687, he conveys to Palmer.
1667, appointed by Governor Nicholls to enroll the Militia.
1670, appointed by the Governor and Council to lay out roads
in Newtown, and the following year was appointed to adjust
the boundary between Bushwick and Newtown, but did not
serve. He was permitted to sell liquors and powder to the
Indians. 1673, appointed by the Council to arbitrate between
Roger Townsen and the Westchester people, also to arbitrate
between Richard Smith and the inhabitants of Huntington.
General Lovelace paid him a visit at his house just before the
capture of New York from the Dutch. His sisters Sarah and
Rebecca appoint him their attorney to collect legacies under
their mother's will. This power he transfers to his brother
John and brother-in-law William Earle. In 1676, he had a sur-
vey of 180 acres on the south side of Fresh Kill (Staten Island).
In 16S4, he petitions to be put in possession of this land. In
1679-S0, William Haviland filed a petition reciting that his
brother-in-law Capt. Thomas Hicks who had in 1660, obtained
from Governor Nicholls a patent for Madnan's (Great) Neck
in the town of Flushing, which was divided equally between
him and Richard Cornhill and Elias Doughty, that petitioner
bought Doughty's interest, that Cornhill and Hicks had settled
their son-in-law on one of the three lots and Mr. Cornhill is
settling his other son-in-law John Lawrence on a part of
said tract. Petitioner prays that they may be stopped. Com-
missioners were appointed to divide the tract in three parts
and to lay out the 300 acres for Richard Cornhill, Thomas
Hicks and William Haviland. In 1679, Richard Cornhill
bought from Abraham Smith 100 acres of woodland in Hemp-
stead, northwest of Little Success Pond, on the road to Mad-
nan's Neck. In 1680, appraiser of the estate of William
Lawrence; forced to resign a patent for land; owed the estate
of Cornelius Steenwyck 247 guilders 10 stivers in wampum.
1684, Takapousha and other Indians sold to Richard Cornhill
and others all the lands called Flushing, bounded west by
Flushing Creek, south by Jamaica line, east by Hempstead,
north by the Sound. Richard Cornhill, Sr., and others buy 966
acres adjoining the rear of Cow Neck, deed on record in Land
Office, Albany, with map:

Phillip Welles Survr."

Survey in 16S5, to Richard Cornwell, Sr., of 837 acres in
Hempstead and Flushing, southeast of Little Neck, at Success
(part of this land is still owned by his descendants). 1686, sur-
vey of more land at Cow Neck to him. Part of this tract was
sold Dec. 25, 1691, to James Sands who married Mary^ Cornell
(John,^ Thomas'). It includes the burial ground of the family
of John Cornell, Cow Neck.

He and others resisted the encroachments of new patentees
of Flushing". Richard Cornell of Cornbury, Flushing, conveyed
to his son-in-law John Washburn land in Flushing, south of
the brook that comes from Rushmore's Mill (on re-survey
Cornbury was found to be in Hempstead). In 1687, he con-
veyed to Richard his eldest son one-half of a piece of land at
Success, also salt meadow at Cornbury Neck.

Aug. 20, 1687, he of Cornbury (Bayside), bought from John
Palmer lands that had been granted to Palmer by Lieut-Gov-
ernor Dongan, Nov. 3, 1685, south side of Long Island in Rock-
away, bounded east by Hemdstead, north by the patent line,
south by the main sea or ocean, west by the gut or inlet which
makes the bay or sound as it runs easterly until it comes to the
Hempstead line.* This tract including all of Rockaway Neck,
had been purchased Oct. 9, 1658, by John Palmer, a resident of
New York from Peeman, Sagamore of the Rockaway Indians
for ^30. f Richard Cornwell and Elizabeth his wife, the same
day convey to Palmer one third of a tract at Madnan's Neck,

formerly granted by Governor Nicholls to Thomas Hicks and
which Hicks sold in 1666 to Cornwell.

Soon after this date he transferred his residence from
Flushing to the new purchase, improved the lands, erected a
dwelling and other buildings and resided there until his death,
being thenceforth known as Richard Cornell of Rockaway.

In 1688, Richard Corn well of Cornwell Hall, Queens Co.,
conveyed to Thomas Hicks (who married Mary Washburn,
granddaughter of Richard), lands in Huntington. He leased
the Court House at Jamaica for twenty years, agreeing to keep
it in repair and to allow courts to be held in it. The next year
he owed some money and was plagued with demands of the
Hempstead men.

He and his wife Elizabeth sold 50 acres near Success to
John Cornell "our cousin" (nephew, probably son of Thomas^)
living near Success; bounded south by brother Edward and
west by Richard Jr. The deed was acknowledged Jan. 27, 1696,
by Richard Cornwell, Jr., heir-at-law of Richard Cornwell, Sr.
In 1690, he conveyed to "my son-in-law John Lawrence," lots
61 and 37 in the last division of lots in Flushing and in the
same year bought from Little John Smith for ^30, land at
Rockaway, bounded west by Lattins Spring.

Richard Cornell of Rockaway, will dated Nov. 7, 1693;
proved Oct. 30, 1694 "Sicke & weeke." He makes over all his
lands at Rockaway for the payment of a certain debt owing to
the children of John Washburn. (He was Washburn's exec-
utor.) " To son William, land at Rockaway, bounded north with
the old fence on the south side of last year's wheat field, run-
ning east to Hempstead line, south by the sea, excepting that
my now dwelling house with orchard and pastures, houses and

Great River or Cove running east to three rail fence, also 2
acres bought of Smith (in 1690?) to build on. 1698, in Flushings
census. 1703, Jacob of Success in Flushing, gent, conveys to
John his brother (2007), 40 acres in Flushing, devised to him by
his father Richard of Rockaway, lying north of Thomas Cor-
nell. Deed acknowledged by witnesses who deposed that they
saw him and his wife Hester sign the same. 1741, March i,
Jacob Cornell of White Plains conveyed to E. Yeomans for

Jacob Cornell, weaver, freeman, N. Y. Jacob seems to have
been a wanderer. He left Long Island, went to Westchester
Co., and Orange Co. Probably Jacob, Jr., Daniel, Samuel and
Mary were children of Jacob and Hester, also Richard, Jr., who
married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Cornel, Dec. 20, 17 12.
He had several sons but only Jacob is mentioned; he probably
named one Richard after his father as all his brothers who had
sons did so — the dates also seem to fit this theory.

conveys to Powers (reserving rights of John's widow), 8 acres,
3 r. in Brooklyn, being 219 feet on the river and 438.8 deep,
about the east side of Pierrepont Street. Apparently John who
was fond of the turf, a famous rider and a free liver, became
embarrassed and died in debt. The above property was pur-
chased by Isaac at legal sale and he sold it to Powers, reserving
the widow's dower. Powers sold it to Arden who in 1802, con-
veyed it to Robert Benson and he to Hezekiah Pierrepont, who
lived there. This house of four chimneys is the one where the
council of war was held that decided on the retreat of the
American forces from Long Island. John kept St. George's
Tavern near Brooklyn Ferry. Bull baiting at Tower Hill.

was forbidden to land unless he would take the oath of al-

vessel in the harbor he conveyed his estate to his children by
several deeds of gift. He then removed his family by permis-
sion of the executive of the State to New York. Subsequently
his property was all confiscated and sold. A Mr. Singleton
became a purchaser of part of it, and the portion which Mr.
Cornell had given to one of his daughters, this lady claimed to
hold under her father's deed and instituted a suit to eject
Singleton, but on a hearing and trial the confiscation act was
held valid, and judgment was given against her, although
the conveyance was made prior to the passage of the confisca-
tion act of North Carolina. (See Sabijis Loyalists of the Am-

1781, he buys from his brother William, 6 acres on Gowanus
Ditch which had been deeded by Whitehead, his father to Wil-
liam. About 1784, he visited England to collect money due his
father for meat supplied to the British Fleet during the Rev-
olutionary War. 1785, John Cornell, buys from brother Isaac
Cornell, one-third of the Mill property, Red Hook. The
Dutch West India Co., under Governor Kieft, May 27, 1640,
granted to Fred'k Lubbertsen a tract of land lying on the
East River opposite Governor's Island, comprising 100 acres,
and extending along the river 1700 paces from about Atlantic
Street on the north, to a point beyond Luquer Street on the
south and from the river on the west to Court Street on the
east. By another purchase, Lubbertsen acquired a piece of
land east of the above and extending to Gowanus Cove
These properties are designated on the map of Brooklyn as
properties of Luquer, Cornell, Kelsey and Blake, Bergen,
Coles, Conover, Sebring, Hoyt, Heeny and others, the whole

comprising- about 300 acres. By will dated Nov. 27, 1679,
Lubbertsen devised his lands to his two daughters Elsie
Bergen and Aeltje Sebring, who pursuant to award of Com-
missioners in partition, made a division by which the land on
the river fell to Aeltje Sebring. Cornelius Sebring erected a
mill and a dwelling house on their land, enclosing a piece
of marsh which became a mill pond.* In 1723, Cornelius
Sebring devised his lands to his ten children, and by some con-
veyances, not recorded, this property came into the possession
of his son Jacob, whose heirs, Oct. 20, 1784, convey it to Isaac
Cornell. Isaac conveyed one-third of the land to his brother
John, Feb. 24, 17S5, and one-third to his brother William, June
29, 1787. Isaac then conveyed to John and William each one-
half of the land, and on Oct. i, 1792, William conveyed all his
interest to his brother John who, thereby became possessed of
the entire estate. f 1831, Oct. 31, Sarah Cornell, widow of John,
leased the mill pond to John A Conklin for five years for fish-
ing oysters at the yearly rent of 2,000 of the best oysters.
1833, Feb. 5, a part (130 x 748 feet on the north side of the tract)
was sold to C. C. Cambell, and the same year i^z acres was sold
to Hoyt and Xevius. The remaining 57 acres was sold Nov.
2 1, 1833, by the heirs of John Cornell to Charles Kelsy and
Anson Blake for $70,000. The history of the property is
partially given in Stile's History of Brooklyn, where it is stated
that Whitehead Cornell divided his property between his three
sons John, William and Isaac, but I do not find that Whitehead

and President or Governor of the Virgin

Islands.

He became an Admiral in the British Navy. Galignanis'
Messenger publishes a story that his wife was engaged to
Col. Edward Fanning, secretary to Gov. Tryon, and that the
Colonel went to Newberne, N. C, to wed her, but found on his
arrival there, that she had eloped and gone to England with
Capt. Chads. But as she was married to Chads by license in
New York the story is doubtful.

were all zealous in religious and charitable works and greatly
respected by all who knew them. Tn 185S, the three sisters,
Catherine, Margaret and i\Iary made mutual wills devising their
estate to the survivor of them. 18S4, Nov. 12, Catherine, the
survivor of the three, made a will by which with codicils, her
estate was devised to her surviving brothers, and the issue of
those who had deceased. To Greenwood Cemetery $600, for
the care of the family burial plot. Charles B. Curtis was
appointed trustee for the children of Richard R. Cornell. Her
surviving brothers were appointed executors. The two sur-
vivors, Peter C. and Isaac R., being indisposed to undertake
the task, the estate was settled by Charles B. Curtis who found
it necessary also to settle the estate of Sarah Cornell, the
mother and of the two deceased sisters Margaret and Mary,
whose property in part had remained in the possession of
Catherine. These estates amounted to: Sarah Cornell $7,062.99;
Margaret and Mary Cornell $47,314.47; Catherine Cornell

He was the youngest student Dr. Mott, of New York, ever
allowed to graduate from college. At the time of his marriage,
when only 23, he was a physician and surgeon in the city of
Natchez with a practice amounting to $2,000 per annum. This
he hoped would be greatly increased by his marriage, but un-
fortunately, he lived but a few months longer, having been
seized with yellow fever three months before his only child
Ellen Hirst was born. In a letter to his sister Catherine under
date of June 15, 1825, announcing his intended marriage, he
asked her what she thought of his getting married, and stated
that the lady Miss Mary Lewis was one he knew would much
please her, as her disposition was very like her own. While in

ward operation of extracting a tumor from the throat of an
Indian chief wliich was strangling- him. The danger lay in its
not being successful, in which case the Doctor would probably
have been killed. Undaunted however, he set to work with
his knife, and when after a successful operation, the chief
rose to his feet and breathed freely. The Indians were so
pleased they made him a chief and the family of the Doctor
have still the insignia of his rank.

He left home at an early age to seek his fortune. Was
clerk with Hinton and Moore, dealers in paints and oils, New
York. "Went to New Brunswick, N. J., 1822, when the cholera
was rag-ing in New York, entered as clerk in wholesale drug
store of Jonathan Ackerman, New Brunswick, N. J., became
partner in firm of Ackerman & Cornell. It was in New Bruns-
wick that he found his wife. From here, about 1832, he went
to New York, residing in Vesey Street, then in 24 Varick, cor.
of Beach (St. John's Square). He was in the drug business,
141 Maiden Lane, and was in the firm of Rol^inson & Cornell,
wholesale druggists. He afterwards joined his brothers White-
head, Peter and Samuel in the Union White Lead Company of
Brooklyn, their olSce being 175 Front Street, New York. He
retired from business, and in 1843, bought of William L. Rogers
and others a farm at Weston, N. J. (Somerset Co.) near Somer-
ville. This he aimed to make a model farm. It was beauti-
fully situated on the Millstone River. He built a grist mill
and saw mill here, also a wheelwright shop and blacksmith
shop. These he rented and established quite a settlement
about his place, in the adornment of which he spent consider-
able money. He kept open house and was given to hospitality.
Some of the pleasantest days of the writer's life were spent in
this place. Isaac R. Cornell after residing at Weston for over
20 years, sold it by deed, dated May 31, 1864, to Rockhill
Robeson for $50,000, and moved with his wife to New York.
His daughter and son-in-law also resided with them most of
the time, and after several different residences, finally in com-
pany with his son-in-law, Theodore T. Moran, he built a house.
No. 4 West 53d Street, New York, and here he lived and ended
his days peacefully and quietly, aged 90 years. He was a vestry-
man of Christ Church, New York, for some time, also of other

George L. and added greatly to it, building houses, dams,
roads and other costly improvements. Among other buildings
on the place was a chapel, a young clergyman being employed
as tutor in his family who held Episcopal service Sunday
afternoons in the chapel. This involved him in a controversy
with the rector of the parish in whose limits the chapel was
located. The writer well remembers visiting the place when
a boy and being impressed with the elegance of his uncle's res-
idence and the beauty of the surroundings. He had also a store

part of Europe, as well as Egypt and the Holy Land. He was
much interested in literature and "art, and had a fine collection
of books and pictures which, however, he sold before engaging
in the study of American archaeology. He was for eighteen
years Commodore of the St. Augustine Yacht Club, during
which time he explored many of the Florida Indian mounds,
and thus formed the nucleus of what finally became the lar-
gest private archaeological collection in this country. It was
particularly complete in its specimens of hematite objects.
The collection comprised over twenty-two thousand specimens,
and was presented by Mr. Douglass, shortly before his death,
to the American Museum of Natural History, where it had
long been housed. Mr. Douglass was always an earnest and
devoted member of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

parents in New York he was induced by a friend (Rev. William
A. McVickar, D.D.), to take his place temporarily at Nice,
France, and began work there. Dr. McVickar soon after re-
signed, having- accepted a call to Christ Church, N. Y., and
Mr. Cornell was unanimously elected in his place and remained
there the long period of 18 years, from 1876 to 1894, when he
resigned and came to America to live. Since his return to
America he has not taken any active clerical work, though he
often preaches and otherwise assists his clerical brethren.
During his ministry, Mr. Cornell has been instrumental in
building six churches. He resides at Washington, D. C, his
simimer home being the Cornell Homestead at Portsmouth,
R. I., or part of it, having purchased the undivided half of
Mrs. Ellen (Cornell) Smith in 1895, also the other undivided
half of David Coggeshall, who represented the other heirs of
Albert Cornell, the last resident of the homestead. All this
was only a portion of the original grant of Feb. 4, 1646, but it
included the burial ground and the site of the old house which
was burned down in 1889. He also in 1900 purchased another
farm included in the original grant, but there yet remain two
more farms belonging to other parties in the limits of the
original grant. Mr. Cornell has rebuilt the house on its old
site and in very much its original plan; that is, the plan which
he understands the old building had till it was changed
somewhat, about 50 years before its destruction. For History
of the Cornell Grant, see appendix. He has contributed many
articles to secular and religious journals, and is the compiler
of this Cornell Genealogy.

JOHN" BLACK CORNFLL.

Genealogy of the Cor ?t el I Family. 261

At 15 years of age he began the iron business in Centre
Street, New York, under the direction of his elder brother
George and with his brother William W. Their beginning was
small, only one man and a boy being employed in their works.
But from this grew one of the largest iron works in the country,
employing from 1,000 to 1,200 men, and the firm of J. B. & W.
W. Cornell was well known as the most extensive of the kind.
He invented an improved method of uniting the sheet metal
slats of revolving shutters for store fronts, and in 1856 invented
an improvement in making buildings hreproof. At the age of
17 he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church of which he was
a devout and liberal member, having served as trustee and
president of many of the church societies of that denomination.
The Cornell Memorial Church at 76th Street, N. Y., in which
he had a Sunday School of 1,500 scholars, was named after his
brother William. His charities amounted to more than a
million dollars. Mr. Cornell was much esteemed by all who
knew him for his intelligence and integrity. Of him it has
b.een well said, he presents an encouraging example of success
by straight-forward and legitimate enterprise. [Harper's
Weekly, Appletoji's CyclopcEdia of Biography, etc.).

1673, March 3, ]\[ary Cornell, wife of John Cornell of
Plymouth Colony, testified on the trial of her brother Thomas.
1673, July 4, he was one of those appointed by the court at
Dartmouth, Mass., to take charge of so much of his brother
Thomas' estate as was in Dartmouth. 1676, Oct. 3, the Gov-
ernor grants to John Cornell "who with his wife and five small
children, had been driven from the eastward by the Indians,"
a tract of 100 acres of land on the west side of Cow Neck. He
built a house here, but the land was claimed by the inhabitants
of Hempstead, who pulled the house down. Those concerned
in this were afterwards indicted and convicted.* It may
have been to quiet the title to this piece of land that Gov-
ernor Andros issued a patent to John Cornell, Sept. 29, 1677,
for 116 acres "near the bottom of Cow Neck, adjoining Cow
Bay," with a privilege of acquiring an additional 100 acres.
This privilege was exercised when a patent was taken from
Governor Dongan, dated Dec. 13, 16S6, for 100 acres north of
the above and extending to the Sound. A tract of land on the
first grant was reserved for a family burying ground. John
and his wife were both buried there. 16S3, Oct. ir, his land in

to Captain John Sands, who gave the place the name of Sands
Point. In 169S, he and four others of his family are mentioned
in the census of Queens County. 1699, Feb. 9, he and his wife

Richard was foreman of the gTand jury which ig-nored the bill
against Bownas the Quaker. 1705, Aug-. 12, he buys of his
brother John for ^no, land on the west side of Cow Neck.*
About 1713. he bought 500 acres in Scarsdale from the heirs of
Samuel Palmer. It was probably through the Richbills and
Motts that Richard became interested in Westchester County.f
1719, it was voted to build a Friends' meeting house at Cow Neck,
the place and dimensions to be left to Richard Cornell, William
]Mott and others. From 1721 to 1726, he was annually elected
a fence viewer in Hempstead. 1724, March 31, "Richard Cor-
nell of Cow Neck, Hempstead, Nassau Island," sold to Benoni
Mcrritt of R^'e, Westchester Co., 200 acres in Fauconier's
Patent (now part of Northcastle).J Caleb witnessed this deed
which was for ^135. ^728, Aug. 24, Richard's name, with
about twenty others, is signed to an agreement with the Com-
missioners of Highwaj^s of Cow Neck. Baird§ says that he re-
moved to Westchester in 1725. He owned his farm at Cow
Neck, however, until 1730, when he sold it to his son-in-law
Edward Sands. 1730, 10.7, joined the Purchase Meeting,
Westchester Co., N. Y., with certificate from Westbury,
L. I. By the will of his brother-in-law James Sands, it appears
that in 1730, he and Richard Cornell owned land together
in Goshen, Orange Co. 1733, Dec. 16, he and other Quakers
"inhabitants and freeholders of Westchester County," petition
against Nicholas Cooper the sheriff, for refusing to allow
them to vote. His will is dated Oct. 31, 1756, and was proved
April 21, 1757. His four sons, Richard, Joseph, John and
Benjamin are to take all his lands in Scarsdale, New

f 1661, June 8, John Richbill purchased from the Indians three necks of
land bounded east by Mamaroneck River and west by Mr. Pell's pur-
chase. Pell set up a claim to the land which was finally settled in 1668.
Governor Lovelace issued a patent to Richbill. He dying in 1684, his
nephews conveyed the great Middle Neck lying in Scarsdale and Mamar-
oneck to Samuel Palmer whose heirs, after 1713, sold 500 acres to Richard
Cornell. About 1764, the heirs of James Delancy began suit against Benja-
min, Joseph, Peter and John Cornell, sons and grandsons of Richard, claim-
ing these lands, which claim was not sustained, except a small piece which
was west of the Scarsdale line (see Bolton and Sckarff's History of West-
chester County).

tioned, Phebe, as the deceased wife of John Williams, leaving
two daughters, Hannah Griffin and Elizabeth Haviland. The
executors named were his son Richard, Edward Burling and
John Burling, of whom the first two qualified.*

He lived in Scarsdale about two miles west of Mamaroneck
village on Quaker Ridge, probably a few rods south of the
Quaker Church. The towns of Scarsdale, New Rochelle and
Mamaroneck join at that point, being separated by the Quaker
Ridge Road. His farm was in the three towns. Some of his
descendants still live on the farm.

In 1755, Joseph Cornell of Mamaroneck and Scarsdale, owned
two slaves. Little else is known of him except from his will,
which is dated "21st, nth mo. called November, 1771," and was
proved Dec. 30, of the same year. His wife Phebe is to have a
negro woman ^lercy, "the land where I now live," and land on
the east side of the road, between land that was Peter Cornell's
(3033) and Benjamin Cornell's (3016) for life. His son Joseph
receives a third of his lands in New Hampshire and negro
Stephen. John receives land at Horseridge, a salt meadow at
Mamaroneck, negro Aaron and a third of the New Hampshire
lands. Ferris receives the negro Pomp and the reversion of
the home farm. Of his daughters, Sarah and Phebe receive
^100 each, and Hannah receives ^3. ]Mary is also mentioned.

scribes him as of Flushing where (near Success and Little Neck) his de-
scendants still reside. Bolton gives him a daughter Martha, m. Henry

land I bought of Caleb Cornell." Joseph Thorne, in his will
dated Aug. i, 1751, makes Caleb an executor. 1756, July
29. all of his children except Joseph were baptized in St.

called August, 1801, and was proved April 25, 1802. He gives
his moveables to his wife, and provides that the executors may
put his children to trade if they think best. His son William
is to have the south sixty acres of his farm, and to pay ^120
to each of his sisters, to Deborah within a year, and to Mary
and Abigail as they come of age. Stephen and Benjamin are
each to have 80 acres when they come of age. The remainder is
to go to Samuel when he comes of age. Executors: wife,
son William and son-in-law [brother-in-law?] Richard Burling.

1783, Dec. 22, he was elected town clerk at the first election
in the Manor of Scarsdale, and was re-elected the next year.
He was later supervisor of Scarsdale. He inherited his father's
farm and house, but built a larger house on the Mamaroneck
road. His will is dated Nov. 30, 1839, and was proved in 1842,
after a long- contest. In substance it said: "Having been in-
formed that my wife Pamelia has become entitled to a portion
of the estate of her sister Catherine Tom, and it being all the
property my said wife will have for her support, I therefore
bequeath to my wife all that may come from the estate of said
Catherine Tom." It appeared that althoiigh Benjamin was
once very well-to-do and had often acted as executor and ad-
ministrator, he latterly lost most of his property and was
boarding with David H. Bownes. The will was contested
chiefly by Stephen Underbill and his wife Phebe, daughter of
the testator, but undue influence was not established. His
wife's share was one-seventh of $38,000.* Pamelia Cornell
made a will, Oct. 4, 1843, leaving everything to her daughter
Mary F.f His portrait is in the Mott Family and in Sckarff's

Hannah Ouiniby (301 1) by Richard (3009), Joseph (3010) and
Beniamin (3016) Cornell and Edward Burling (see No. 3014). He
seems to have been a large landholder in Westchester County,
for in 1770 he bought 3S6 acres from Benjamin Smith, Caleb
Fowler and Joseph Sutton, and in 1772 two parcels, one from
Joseph Sutton and the second, a small one from Anne Cham-
bers, as well as another parcel somewhat later from Obadiah
Palmer. His house was for a time Washington's headquarters
during the revolution. In 1776, he was executor for his brother
Joshua. In 17S6, he bought from Samuel Palmer of Bedford,
Gilbert Palmer of Cortlandt Manor, Obadiah Palmer, James
Palmer and ]\Iary Palmer of Greenwich, land bounded by
Benjamin Clapp, the Byram River and the Colony line. The
deed describes him as of Phillipsburg, but this land is appar-
ently in Greenwich, Conn., between King Street and the Byram
River, so that he probably removed hither about this date and
spent the remainder of his life here. His will is dated May 6,
1797, and was proved April 10, 1799. He leaves ;^2oo and his
household goods and moveables to his wife, who is to provide
for their son Richard.*

$3,375, land on Cow Bay.f The mortgage was evidently paid
off by Joshua, for we iind a deed of this same parcel dated
Nov. S, 1S26, in a partition siiit, reciting that Archibald Cornell
and Nelly his wife, Gordon Corning and Arabella his wife,
Gershon Cook and Ann his wife, and Samuel P. Huntington
and Jeanette his wife are entitled to a quarter of it, that

In 1820, he was assessed for $8,000 in New York City. His will

man, and leaves his property to a large circle of relatives.

which was bought from John Sands; to Cornwall Willis, "the
lower part of my farm at Cow Neck, called Grove Hill," 180

He was a pupil of the Friends' School at Nine Partners
where he met his wife. They taught school at Flushing after
their marriage, and in 1823, removed to Rochester. The jour-
ney was made by sloop to Albany, and then by stage and the
Erie Canal. He settled on a farm of 56 acres, about four miles
northwest of Rochester and near the Erie Canal. Here he
cleared the land, built a house and went into the nursery bus-
iness and farming. He also taught school in his house and did
surveying. In 1836, he opened a surveyor's office in Rochester
and bought a house. No. 9 Kent Street, Rochester, for
$2,000, where he removed the same year. The farm was rented
and some years later sold. In 1847, he became superintendent
of the Rhode Island Quaker School at Providence, his daughter
Alice assisting him. In 1852, he returned to Rochester and
occupied his old home, 9 Kent Street. He resumed the bus-
iness of surveyor and civil engineer and was an active mem-
ber of the Society of Friends till his death. His widow then
went to live with her daughter Mrs. Walbridge, at Toledo, Ohio,
and subsequently to Yonkers where she died. Silas and his
wife Sarah and their son James are buried in Mt. Hope Cem-
etery, Rochester. The family have been Quakers for many
generations.

He was born and lived in Westchester Co. He exchanged
his farm there for freighting business on the Hudson River at
Peekskill, which proved a failure. In 1824, he moved to Otter-
ville, Canada, with all his children, except Jesse, who afterwards
followed him, and William. He bought a farm in Canada, but
died soon after, and his sons John and Samiiel, aged 18 and 15,
cared for the farm, and with so much energy, that they soon
had five farms and a good mercantile business.

and woodland, 16 acres of salt meadows, two orchards, and a
pond of standing water at the north and south ends of the

In 1777, he was a devisee under the will of his grandmother

( Samuel,' Richard,' Richard,^ Thomas,') of North Hempstead,
for ^165, land at Hempstead on the north side of Great Plains,
on the road from Benjamin Smith's to Great Neck.f In 1802,
he subscribes towards the building of Christ's Church, Man-
hasset, and on May 14 of that year, he witnesses a mortgage of
his brother Barak of property on or near the line of Flushing
and North Hempstead. 1804, Feb. 20, he and his wife mortgage
to Lewis Hicks for ^200, land at Hempstead at a place called
Grassy Pond. There was only i^ acres, so that the amount of
the mortgage seems large. J 181 1, Feb. 5, he and his wife and
his brother John make a mortgage to Benjamin Treadwell on
land which seems to be the same as that mortgaged by his
brother Barak in 1802. § 1828, Oct. 28, administration on his
estate was granted to Joseph Dodge. Henry seems, however,
to have left a will, for in 1829 we find a deed from his executor

to his wife Sarah, of land on Success Pond and elsewhere, sub-
ject to the use of the land by Mary Cornell. 1829, May i, Sarah
Cornell conveyed a half interest in this property to C. Allen.
It was the land mortgaged above in 1802 and 181 1, and appears
to have belonged to Henry's father Barak, in which Mary,
Barak's second wife, still had a dower interest.*

1S31, July 18, John Cornell of Flushing buys from his brother

ing, of which Henry (3141), their brother had died, seized.
This was part of the farm of Barak (3056) their father, and his
wife Mary still had dower in it.f His will, in which he calls
himself of Flushing, is dated Nov. 8, 1846, and was proved
April 12, 1847. He leaves to his son John "who lives with me,
the westerly part of the farm where I reside," in the eastern
part of the town of Flushing and extending into the town of
Hempstead, "beginning at the northwest corner adjoining the
highway that runs from Nostrand's tavern, south to the high-
way known as the new road, joining William and Sarah Van
Xostrand," sixty acres; also an acre and three-quarters of
swamp land, and eight acres south of the North Hempstead
and Flushing turnpike. " There is a family burying-ground on
the southwest part of the farm which I reserve to my family."

LINEAGES.

COGGESHALL LINEAGE.

The name Coggeshall is of quite an ancient origin, dating almost from
the conquest, and at that time the family were large land holders.

John Coggeshall, the common ancestor of the name in this country,
came from Essex Co., England. In the early records of that county, the
name is often found. At one time this family were possessed of ten estates.

He arrived at Boston, taking passage on the ship Lyon, Sept. i6, 1632.
In the following Nov., was made a freeman of the Colony. Soon after his
arrival he connected himself with the church in Roxbury, on the records of
which both his name and that of his wife Mary are found. He soon removed
to Boston but his stay there was short, being obliged to leave on account of
his religious belief, he taking the side with Anne Hutchinson. He was one
of the original settlers of Portsmouth, R. I., where, after starting a settle-
ment, he with others, removed to the southern part of the Island of Aquid-
neck, where the town of Newport now is. At the union of the four towns,
Newport, Portsmouth, Providence, and Warwick, he was made the tirst
President.

1 John Coggeshall was b. in England and d. at Newport, R. I., Nov.
27, 1647. He was buried on his own land in Newport, where his descendants
have erected a monument to his memory, and enclosed the little family
burial ground with a neat and substantial stone-wall. It is situated on Cog-
geshall Avenue near Victoria Avenue. The children of John and Mary
Coggeshall were:

John, b. about 1618; d. Oct. i, 1708, Newport, R. I.
2 Joshua, b. about 1623; d. May i, 1688, Portsmouth, R. I.
Ann, b. about 1625; d. March 6, 1687, Newport, R. I.
Hanniel, a daughter, bap. May 3, 1635, Boston, of whom nothing

more is known.
Wait, bap. Sept. 11, 1636, Boston; d. May 9, 1718.
Bedaiah, a son, bap. July 30, 1637, Boston.

2 Joshua, of John,'

b. in England, came to this country with his parents. After his father's
death he removed to Portsmouth, R. I., and purchased a farm on the
western side of the Island where he resided till his death. The greater por-
tion of the farm included in the original purchase, was held by his de-
scendants till within a few years. He was twice married, (i) to Joan West,
Newport, Dec. 22, 1652; she d. April 24, 1676, aged 41 years; his (2) wife
was Rebecca Russell, to whom he was married June 21, 1677. Children:

THE WHITEHEAD LINEAGE.

I Daniel Whitehead, or Whythead as he subscribed himself, was born
in 1603, whether at Dorchester in Dorsetshire or at some place in York-
shire, England, has not been positively ascertained. He is supposed
to have emigrated to the Connecticut Colony with his brothers Samuel
and Stephen who settled in New Haven, while he removed to Long
Island, becoming a resident of Hempstead some time prior to 1650. He
married Jeanne Skidmore. To judge from the records of his numerous
f)urchases of land from the Indians and others, he was a man of consider-
able wealth. He bought land at Smithtown, Sept. 29, 1650, at Huntington,
.April 2, 1653, at Oyster Bay, Sept. 20, 1654. In 1666, Governor Nichols
granted to him and others the first Newtown Patent. He was made a free-
holder Nov. 4, 1666, and was chosen town-surveyor. He was also a magis-
trate. He resided on a large farm at Mashpeth Hills during the latter part

became an extensive property holder. He was a Major in the Colonial
Troops, a Majesty's Justice and a representative of Queens County in the

CORTELYOU LINEAGE.

I Jacques Cortelyou, the common ancestor of the Cortelyou family in
this country, emigrated from Utrecht in the Netherlands about 1652. He
resided in New Amsterdam until 1657, when he received from Gov. Nicol
the Nyack patent for a tract of land in New Utrecht, on Long Island,
where he remained until his death, in 1693. He was allotted Plantation
No. 10 when the village of New Utrecht was laid out, was also interested
in a large tract of land on the Passaic River m New Jersey. He was a

in 1657, and it is supposed made the first map of the present City of New
York. He represented New Utrecht in the Hempstead Convention of
1665, was Vendue-master of the County in 1672 and a Justice of the Peace
in 16S5. The Labadists, in their Journal, mention their visit to Jacques
Cortelvou, the Surveyor of New Utrecht, "who had recently built an
excellent stone house, the best dwelling in the place "—his previous home
having been destroyed by fire in 1675.

Hicks' wife Margaret (Winslow), with their children, followed on the ship
Ann, arriving at Plymouth in June, 1622.* They settled first at Duxbury,
Mass., but permanently at Plymouth, where he died March 24, 1647. His
will, and that of his widow, is on record in that city.

2 John Hicks moved from Weymouth, Mass., to Newport, R. I., in 1637,
and from there to Long Island about 1642. In Oct., 1645, Gov; Kieft

THE DUYCKINCK LINEAGE.

1 Evert Duyckinck came to this country at an early date from Borchen,
North Brabant, Holland, in the service of the Dutch West India Company ;
resided for some time at Fort Good Hope (now Hartford, Conn.), where
he was injured in a sortie of the English against the Dutch Colonists in
1640 ; m. Hendrickie Simons, of Noordthorn, Sept. 9, 1646, at the old
Dutch Church in New York. In 1643 he was granted a patent of land in
Flatbush, L. I., by Director Stuyvesant, and also a lot near the present
New York Cotton Exchange, where he resided until his death, about
1700. He was a man of wealth and of considerable importance in the
Colony.

2 Evert Duyckinck, bap. Oct. 30, 1650, in the old Dutch Church, New
York ; went to Holland, and in 1679 returned with his wife, Cornelia
Jacobson Toll, and his two children, on the diaries. He was a sea captain,
and after returning from a voyage to Jamaica and the Barbadoes died in
New York in 1680. His widow remarried, and thus the old family bible
passed into the hands of the Beekman family, who now have possession
of it.

3 Evert Duyckinck, b. in Amsterdam, Holland, July 23, 1677 ; m. Elsie,
daughter of Andries and Vroutwie (Van Vorst) Meyer, in New York,

TOMPKINS LINEAGE.

Their original American ancestors emigrated from the North of England
during the time of religious persecution in that country and landed in
Plymouth, whence they afterwards removed to Concord, Mass. Their arms
were: Azure on a chevron between three moor cocks, close, or, as many
cross crosslets, sable crest, a unicorn's head erased, per f esse, argent and or,
armed and maned of the last, gorged with a chaplet of laurel vert.

* The name Nathaniel occcurs in Eastchester in 1665.

t Scarsdale acquired its name from the Heathcot family, who originally came from
Scarsdale, Derbyshire, England. " More onward," says the learned Camden (describing
that part of Derbyshire), '■ we see Chesterfields in Scarsdale — that is, in a dale enclosed
with rocks, for crags were called scarrs by the Saxons."

X The Council of Safety used to meet in a church in Harlem, and when the British
took possession they adjourned to the old Court House at White Plains. While in the
exercise of his duties Tompkins was once observed by a scouting party, which at once gave
chase, and, being better mounted, were about to overtake him, when he plunged down a
steep hill, made a sudden turn in the road, and managed to elude his pursuers by dismount-
ing and secreting himself in a swamp.

Van Cortlandt Manor.

The Van Cortlandt Manor (estate of Stephanus Van Cortlandt) was one
of the great Manors. The purchase did not begin till 1683. ^^ ^^^.s erected
into a Manor June 17, 1697, by William III., through Gov. Fletcher. It ran
east from Croton Bay to the Connecticut line, and included, besides the whole
of the northern part of Westchester County (86,213 acres), a tract on the
west bank of the Hudson (1,500 acres) — in all, 87,713 acres. The Manor of
Cortlandt was devised by Stephanus Van Cortlandt at his death (1700) to
his eleven surviving children in equal shares (except that Johannes, the oldest
son, received, in addition to his equal share, what is now Verplanks Point
on the Hudson, a tract of 2,500 acres). It remained undivided many years.
The widow of Stephanus, Gertrude Schuyler, outlived her husband twenty-
three years, and there was a tacit agreement that during her life nothing
should be done towards splitting up the estate. Oliver, one of the eleven
heirs, died childless, willing his interest to his brothers and sisters. The Manor
then had ten property interests. After the death of Stephanus there was
always a recognized head of the Van Cortlandt family. But there never
was a second Lord of the Manor. Johannes, the eldest son of Stephanus,
died young, leaving one child, Gertrude; m. Philip Verplank, a descendant
of one of the early Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam. He was a surveyor.

Appendix. 391

and by agreement of the heirs (1730) was appointed to lay out the Manor
into thirty lots, and these were divided among the several parties; but his
survey was confined to the Manor north of the Croton River. Then (1733)
all of Westchester County north of the Croton River, and between that
stream and the Connecticut Ime, was appraised for §48,000. This territory
now includes the towns of Cortlandt, Yorktown, Somers, North Salem,
Lewisboro and part of Pound Ridge. Its taxable value is now several
millions. In 1753 the Manor lands south of the Croton River were divided.
The heirs-at-law entering into enjoyment of their individual properties as
partitioned to them, gradually leased the lands to settlers or sold them in
fee. The subsequent history of the great \''an Cortlandt estate is well
represented by the share which fell to Stephen de Lancy, son of the Chief
Justice (over 7,000 acres). This he laid out into farms, as a rule of 200
acres, and leased them. Notwithstanding the complete partition of the
estate, the "Lordship and Mannour"of Courtlandt, as erected by Gov.
Fletcher (1697) remained. It was a distinct political division, and was sepa-
rated from the rest of Westchester County more than the other Manors, and
had the exceptional right of sending its own representative to the Provincial
Assembly. This did not cease till 1788, when Westchester County was
divided into townships, and Cortlandt Manor ceased to exist. Representa-
tion did not begin till 173-I.. Philip Verplank was first chosen for that office.
His successor was Pierre Van Cortlandt, who served during the rest of the
Colonial era.

After the death of Johannes and Oliver, the first and second sons of
Stephanus Van Cortlandt, Philip, b. 1683, became head of the family. He was
a merchant in New York. He was clear-headed, of good ability and great
decision of character, and from 1730 to 1746 member of the Gubernatorial
Council. His eldest son, Stephen, d. young, leaving his son, Philip, the
next head. But this second Philip preferred military affairs, entered the
British army and fought against American independence. He went to
England after the war, and his children became allied with the nobility of
that land. But it is a singular fact that of his twenty-three children no male
descendant now represents him. His uncle, Pierre (youngest son of first.
Philip and grandson of Stephanus), ultimately became the leading member
of the family. He was b. 17 12, and lived in the Manor from boyhood,
making that his permanent residence; and he d. in the Manor House
and was buried in the Van Cortlandt Cemetery. In 1749 he m. Joanna,
daughter of Gilbert Livingston and granddaughter of Robert, first Lord'
of the Livingston Manor. He had four sons and three daughters.
Van Cortlandt Manor House is now occupied by his great-grandson,
Mr. James Stevenson Van Cortlandt. The Yonkers branch of the Van
Cortlandt family was founded by Jacobus, younger son of Oloff Stevense
Van Cortlandt, and brother of Stephanus, first Lord of the Manor, b. 1658.
He m. Eva, stepdaughter of the first Frederick Philipse, purchased (1699)
from his father-in-law fifty acres, to which he added several thousand more,
and in 1700 dammed up Tippet's Brook, thus creating the Van Cortlandt
Lake, erected the Van Cortlandt Mill, which was used as a grist-mill till
1889, when it came into the possession of New York City.

-02 Grncalo^^y of tlie Cornell Family.

Jacobus, in his will, bequeathed to his only son, Frederick Van Cort-
landt, his "farm, situate, lying and being in a place called and known by
the name of Little or Lower Yonkers."

Frederick, b. 1698; m. Francina, daughter of Augustus and Ann Maria
(Bavard) Tav. Frederick built the Van Cortlandt House now in the posses-
sion of the Colonial Dames, a fine specimen of Colonial architecture, and,
like the Philipse Manor House, in perfect preservation. Six children were
b. to Frederick \'an Cortlandt and his wife Francina, of whom Jacobus was
the oldest, b. March 3, 1727, and who became the proprietor of the Little
Yonkers estate. He Anglicized his name to James; died childless, 1800.
Little Yonkers passed to his brother Augustus, and after his death the
principal portion of it, including the mansion, was held by the family of his
daughter Anna, who m. Henry White (the White heirs of Augustus assum-
ing the name of Van Cortlandt by requirement of the will) till purchased by
New York City (see SJi07inard and Spooners History of Westchester County,
Boltons History) and Mrs. Catherine (Van Cortlandt) Matthew's notes, etc.

the sound, is bounded in the East by another Rivolette which divides it from
the limits of Westchester, and a line being drawn from the head of each
Rivolett where, with a narrow strip the said Neck is joined to the main
land, it closes up the neck and makes the north bounds thereof, and
whereas, there was heretofer a patent or Ground brief granted by the Dutch

among other things) it is mentioned to be bounded along the River about
half a Dutch mile,f which said Patent or Ground brief so granted as afore-

River and about two miles along the shore line.

HISTORY OF THE CORNELL GRANT AT PORTSMOUTH, R. I.

Feb. 4, 1646, the Freeman of the town of Portsmouth granted to Thomas
Cornell, Sr., a tract of land lying "on the South side of the Wading River,
and so as to run from the river towards the land that was laid out to Edward
Hutchingson." It has been supposed by some that this grant was the square
now formed by the Wading River (or Lawton Valley), the present main
road, the Redwood Farm and the Bay. But this is not exactly the case, for
although the shore line of Narraganset Bay and the Redwood Farm were
evidently the two sides to this square, the other two boundaries are not so
evident. In the early deeds the northern boundary is described as the
Wading River, and the eastern one as the common or undivided lands and
the highway, and this is sometimes called the highway to the mill. Thomas^
Cornell gave by deed to his son George the estate bounded south by the
land of Daniel Coggeshall, westerly by the salt water or bay, northerly by
the Wading River and land of John Shieve, easterly by undivided land or a
highway. This highway was in Rebecca Cornell's deed to her son, called
the common. The undivided land was that land given to George Lawton
for building a grist mill.

As the lot was then called undivided land, it is most likely to have
remained unfenced and open with the highway and common land, for in
1 71 4, John Mumford surveyed and plotted this common, and the committee

appointed by the town of Portsmouth, sold it to George Cornell for 24
shillings, being twelve acres.

In the year 1656 the town granted to George Lawton forty acres of land
lying in two parts. One of these, called the mill lot, is bounded as follows:
" On the one side on the river that runs down to the mill, and the other side
from below the mill, up above the house of the said George Lawton, bounded
with marked trees by the highway side, that goes to the mill and down to
the river."

The ruins of one or two mills are still to be seen there. Thus it would
seem that George Lawton had a grant of land in the northeast corner of the
square previously described. I mention this, as it has been supposed the
Cornell grant covered it all, and it has even been thought that the Lawton
house in that corner was the original Cornell house.

By Thomas' this Cornell grant (as before described) seems to have
been devised, with his other real estate, to his wife Rebecca. In the year
1663 Rebecca Cornell, widow of the aforesaid Thomas Cornell, gave to her
son Thomas' Cornell, by deed, the aforementioned tract of land. After the
death of Thomas- his eldest son Thomas^ (a person of considerable promi-
nence in the Colony) was the possessor of the homestead. He in turn gave
this property to his second son George, by deed dated 1713, as before stated,
and this George added to the homestead farm by the purchase of twelve
acres of the common, or unclaimed land, which was sold by the town of
Portsmouth. George died intestate. But his eldest son Walter seems by
purchase and inheritance to have obtained the estate in 1753 or thereabouts,
and to have divided it in three parts, the western part being given to the
heirs of Walter Cornell (his son). Job, another son, receivmg the central
third, and Jonathan, another son, the eastern part containing the homestead
building. This part, with some additions and divisions and subdivisions,
has remained in the family ever since, Jonathan providing by his will that
at the death of his wife his portion should be divided between his sons
Jonathan and Stephen B. This Stephen B. Cornell, having bought all or
part of his brother Jonathan's interest, and having no children of his own,
devised the estate to his nephews, Stephen and Albert Cornell. Albert
bought Stephen's portion, and, dying unmarried, left his land to his cousin,
Harriet Charlotte (Earle) Cornell (widow of Stephen) for life. At her death
it went to her children, and was bought of them and their representatives
(1895) by the present owner, Rev. John Cornell, the author of this book. The
original homestead is at this time divided into four farms (see map), of
which the Rev. John Cornell possesses two, the western portion of the
original grant having also been bought by him in 1900. The old homestead
house burned in 1889, was rebuilt by him in 1896.

Thus the succession of the homestead may be given approximately as

follows:

1646, Thomas," original grantee.

1655, Thomas,' son of Thomas.'

1674, Thomas,^ son of Thomas.'

17 13, George, son of Thomas.^

1753, Walter, son of George.
